The Nine Principles

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.


12 Values

* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope
* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work

God is good, and has been good to America!

Is this country going to humble themselves or be humbled....I am thinking the later. This country is turning their back on God more and more...which has never lead to good things happening....read some good old history on people that have done that...

These Principles and Values are pretty much how I was raised. Maybe I'm in the minority, but there is nothing is them that I see as being controversial, but even on the Wikipedia page there is a comment that there are critics of them. Yes, folks, The 912 Project has made it to Wikipedia already. Good news travels fast.

Just a thought. Truth is truth and it is not in the eye of the beholder.

Principles above personalities. Live and walk the principles is a progression not a perfect thing. Progress daily and we have success with them.

Good point, to many times the truth is spun until it suits the agenda.

At first I thought that Glenn’s call was for us to just let our representatives know that we Americans would not stand for the trickery and games being played in Washington or the state level. This is only partially his call to us. The REAL message is for us to be better people for ourselves, family, and friends and yes, even the Government. It is much easier to scream, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!” But that sentiment is far too short sighted.
The core Principles and Values are what each and every one of us need to focus on. How have you accepted these into your everyday life are the real questions and the answer should help you decide if you are the person you want to be. Here’s what I have done:
Each day I take an inventory of how have I done with the Principles and Values and do I believe that for today:

America is good- Yes it is because it is the people that make a country good and most of us are good people

I believe in God, in His reverence, and pray for His guidance last night. I also ask for forgiveness, for I am not perfect no matter how hard I try

Each day I try to be honest with people and more importantly, with myself. I make a daily list of how I did during the day each and every night making mental corrections of any misleading I have done, whether intended or not- I have to apologize to one of my friends today about what I should have said yesterday

My family is sacred- I spend “quality” time with them last night discussing our country

I am a law-abiding citizen, with the exception of speed limits I violated yesterday (I’m working on that) and have never considered myself above the law

I am pursuing my life’s goals toward my wants and needs- I cancelled my application to refinance my home yesterday because of all the red tape required

Even though I am a disabled veteran, I went to work yesterday and contributed items to a box I keep for charity of the Lighthouse of the Blind Association. As a veteran, I spoke to one of my friends about the enormous respect and gratitude I have for those currently serving our country when America is sending mixed messages about them

I have NO problem stating what I believe or my opinion with anyone- you want my opinion, you may not even need to ask- I offered my opinion only 14 times yesterday

My government should answer to me and I have voted in every election since I can remember, and will hold those who I elect accountable for their actions or inactions- I contacted my congressmen yesterday about their standing on the AIG fiasco

I have hope that we, the people, can move America back to what our Founding Fathers believed- it is what America has always stood for

I am totally responsible for what I do or don’t do. I will not blame anyone else, not my parents, my race, my religion, my standard of living, my neighborhood, my friends, or my government.

I agree completely!!! It says something that Obama was the first President in our history as a country to put "Non Believers" in his speech in January. He said America is no longer a Christian Nation. That is scary!! I for one am proud to be a Christian American.

I think we have more christians in this country than Mr Obama thinks. We just need to let him know. Our region of the country is known as the "Bible Belt" but I think we have christians all over this great country and we need to join together with Glen Beck. He is a great inspiration for our country.

There are four (4) documents that illustrate who we (Americans) are, or should be.

1. The Ten (10) Commandments.
2. The English Magna Carta.
3. The American Declaration of Independence.
4. The United States Constitution.

I was raised to support #'s 1-3.

I have sworn to support #4.

I was also raised with these principals and values, it saddens me to see how far our society has plunged and our government has become a reflection of our society, for WE are the government. When we don't hold people accountable for their actions how can we expect to hold the government accountable. What allot of people have forgot is, the United Stated of America is not a democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic.
Democracy = Mob rule, the majority dictates to the minority even if the minority doesn't want it.
Republic = Rule of law. The people make the laws, the government is governed by the people. The people give the government power, the government does not give itself power.

Grew up in a conservative home with MARINE father and patriotic mother. Eagle scout in the boy scouts. 12 years in the US MARINE CORPS

I was raised with the principles and values and I will die with them. AND I assure you i will die defending this GOD FEARING GUN TOTING nation against all the deceivers and NON GOD FEARING people of this world.

May God forgive this nation for what it has become and give us the strength to bring her back under his watchful eye and protection.

I would add to your list the Federalist Papers.

It is essentially a back and forth debate about the Constitution. It provides indisputable proof behind the thoughts of the framers of that document.

they have tried to remove christianity from this country and they are winning that war. why? this is most certainly a christian nation, the right of those who are not christian must be protected as well.

principles and values that form this country are the core of the american ideals. it was why this country was able to achieve what no other country had. when we allowed them to be eroded the country began its fall. people were made to belive that they were bad or evil to have such values, it still goes on today. this 912 movement needs to be longlasting and when we repair this country to its principles and values again is when we will need the movement the most.

history has taught us that the furthur in time that passes people will alow themselves to slip back into slavery or bondage. here we are 1770 all over again. we just traded 1 tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants 1 mile away

The fact is God decides who and what kind of people we are. I know what God has decided due to the bible. As a nation we are not a Christian nation in Gods sight due to most of all the lies we love and the complete lack of love for oneanother. Things like abortion and homosexuality are only symptoms, the problem is hateing truth and seeking wickedness. Now that being said, about 1/3rd of us are true believers and seek to be the light God told us to be. That issue is a huge problem because we have hidden in our churches and bought into things like money changeing and materialistic doctrines. We became lazy, not all of us but most of us. This is why evil advanced this far into our nation. We are busy praying about our bills and the promotion we hope to get while the whole time millions are on a road striat to hell FOREVER. I do not intend to be so harsh or accuseing but it is a fact. Love is the greatest commandment and those whom are lost is where Gods heart truely lays. God has seen fit to raise up a people for this time and God always leaves a remenant. Remember when Clinton was tearing through the Christians and made homosexuals in the military ect,.. Do you not rememeber the outcry for " If My people whom are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways the I will heal their land". Well God is faithfull and this is the healing. There are many of us but it only really takes 2 if one of the 2 is God. I can guarentee that Gods involved here so long we love our enemies and pray in earnst that Mr. Obama and the others learn of the truth and who God truely is because we love them though they are our enemies. If we cannot love to that measure then do not ask for Gods help in this fight we will not have it unless we can love.Thats the truth.

We are in the same position today as our founding fathers were when the people of the Colonies were trying to address unfair practices imposed upon them by King Phillip. Today it is our own federal government doing the imposing. We have the right to petition our government and air our concerns, but these petitions have gone unanswered. The next step in this process would be to form a Continental Congress and through this action force the federal government back into its cage. When the government fails to protect "individual rights" we the people have the right under the constitution to abolish this government and raise a new government.

AmericanMom; I believe that Christians are still the MAJORITY here in this great (or once great) country. I am one as well and it is soooo good to know that there are other folks like you out there. We need to stand together as we may be in this mess for awhile. We should NOT believe the kind of propaganda that Obama is trying to shove down our throats, that this country is no longer a Christian nation. WE need to wake up and take action! Our voices need to be loud and strong. Glad you all are here!!!

Last time I looked, over 85% of Americans declared themselves as Christians. Only between 2% and 18% were atheist (depending on the definition used). Interesting that it's the 2-18% that gets all the press and seems to strike fear in the hearts of government. Why is that?

I think for the same reason a fringe group that protests at military funerals gets so much press. These non Christian, athiest and other groups do more calling, writing and ranting than us.

They only notice the loudest, except when that vast silent majority speaks and the cushy jobs Those People have are threatened. Then, they remember who rules whom.

Congress, at least twice in the past year, was ready to pass an illegal alien amnesty bill. It was based on pressure from various illegal alien and liberal groups. How quickly did those die when We the People spoke out?

Of course, the bills didn't die and Those People in Congress have, or are working on, an end run around the People.

It's much like Congressional pay. Why do they have the right to set their own pay and benefits? Why aren't we involved in telling them, our servants, how much they deserve? The pay, actually, I can accept as reasonable. The benefits they've given themselves are shameful.

I agree with all the above. I have raised my children with these values and they have tried to live up to them. I am home schooling now because of the total lack of values in our school system. I would no longer allow my children to punished because they tried to do the right thing.

Good for you, garnerbl. We homeschooled our children. It wasn't easy and both my wife and I gave up a lot, plus putting aside many of our own interests. In the end, it was worth it. Our family is closer as a result. Our two boys both grew up, have good jobs, good marriages, and we take great satisfaction from seeing that our sacrifice was well rewarded.

One of the simple Values taught to me by my Grandmother was from a small river stone that she picked up out of the river and handed to me

She called it a worry stone, and told me that any time I was worried about anything, to just rub it between my fingers. One day she asked me if the Worry stone was working, Well, Having come from her, I didn’t know exactly what to say, so I said I guess so.

She told me that rubbing on that stone makes as much sense as worrying, Both have no effect at all. If you got something bothering you, Do something about it. Or you can rub on that stone. I still have that rock.

I was watching on the TV Bill O'Reilly tonight, and was somewhat disturbed, By the Morality and where we have come to in this world, The Topic that hit me was Two of them,

One was on breast feeding in public. When I was born it was considered natural to breast feed in public, Nothing immoral was ever thought of it. I was breast fed in Public. Privately most of the time, but if the ovccasion arose, then in public. No Big Deal. But then this was also the time when most children were born at home also and by a Local Lady everyone called to assist in the delivery. Some Babies made it, some didn't.

The other was on multiple Marriages, I am a traditionalist, Some would say old fasion, and I recon others would say eccentric, But I believe that a marriage is between a man and a woman under the sanctity of God. Where does Immorality become a standard, When did Immorality become a soap box to stand upon, And give credence to an unjust cause. I live in a rural part of America, I rejoice in my Rural setting, But we have our fruitcakes here too, I can imagine at least one of my Neighbors getting up and yelling out load that he wants to marry his Sheep, Is this where we are all headed? A place where pervercity is the rulling force in our lives?

* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* GratitudeI agree 100 % with the above Principles and Values!

What I find very interesting is that some of the 9-12 groups that claim to be 9-12 supporters of these Principles and Values have been infiltrated by Liberals who Absolutely don't believe in or support these Principles and Values.

This seems to be a problem in the Larger groups for some reason. Maybe it is just Business as usual when enough folks get together the Liberals cannot keep their hands out of the cookie jar??

I should know because I have joined over 100 groups around the nation and have been banned by about a dozen so far of those I have determined have been infiltrated by Liberals who are Trashing and Trampling on their Creator and the Constitution.

When I ask the organizers exactly where they stand on these issues, they get mad and find some excuse to ban me the 1st chance they get. it usually is based upon if anyone complains about the questions I ask the ones responding to my posts.

It is amazing how one can post a Lie and everyone who is Living that Lie will not say one word to object.

But just as soon as one posts the Truth and reveals the Sin another is Living, these folks will get all bent out of shape in a hurry and let you know it.

All I have to say about this Poor Behavior is God shall not be Mocked by anyone.

We all must take Personal Responsibility for our choices come Judgement day.

And if there are not ---enough--- of We the People willing to stand up and be counted for our Creator and the Constitution, then we shall pay the piper sooner than later as Individuals and as a Nation.

Have a Good Day.
