You are invited

I find the words from that wise monkey in the movie Lion King appropriate for this invite. “It is Time”. Well it is now time for all of us to STAND UP for what we believe in. I do not care if you are a Democrat, Republican or like me an Independent as long as you believe in our constitution and capitalism it is your responsibility as a citizen to get involved. The time for allowing our elected officials to be fiscally wasteful (both parties) and not accountable for their actions is over. The time for sitting on the fence is over. You have to decide where you stand and what you stand for. In the movie on Miracle on 34th Street Dorey Walker asks “What is it you believe in?” Well I ask you the same question. What is it you believe in? Do you believe in our Country and what it stands for? Do you stand up for your values and principles? What is worth standing up for? What about your children’s freedom? This is not even about how you feel about Obama this is about our whole government.

I know going to an event like this and just getting involved is out of most of your comfort zones. But “It is Time” to stand up for what you believe in. Even if you disagree with me and believe in Socialism stand up and say it. Decide where you stand then stand up and get involved. Martin Luther King Jr. said “The Hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.” Below is info on what I am inviting you to this Saturday and if you would like to know if this event is right for you below that is what this event is all about and what 9/12 stands for. Please come and let our voices be heard.

The 9/12 Project

The 9 Principles
1.America Is Good.
2.I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3.I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington
4.The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5.If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
6.I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
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.
Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
8.It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9.The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson
