On September 11th, 2001, the United States of America witnessed the greatest loss of life within its shores since the Civil War. This flagrant act of terror against the American people galvanized a nation far too apathetic for its own good.
On September 12th, this country was different. Families stood together. Neighbors looked out for each other. This nation returned to God.
Now a new enemy is at war with America. This war is not being fought with rifles and tanks, but words and ideas. Our freedom is under attack. Personal liberty is hanging by a thread. But today there are those who are still trying to live in the America that was on 9/12/2001. They have called themselves the 9-12 project.
They describe what they want America to be in 9 principles and 12 values. The basis for these ideas were taken directly from our forgotten founding fathers who’s stories have been revised to demean there impact on America today. Take a look at what they stand for. See if you long to live like Americans united not concerned with special interests and political favors. If so, you may be interested in more than just ideas. You may want direction.
This is not a recruitment speech. Full disclosure, I am a registered member of the 9-12 project. I am not trying to sway public opinion one way or another for my personal political gain or the gain of someone glad-handing career leach that has found a luxurious way of life by working in government. See, I don’t even like politicians. I just want you, for yourself, to poke around a non-party affiliated network that has no goal other than to empower citizens to be more informed and more responsible for what is going on within our borders.
You need to find out for yourself because this movement is being felt. It is striking fear into the two established parties. Both are now trying to adopt some of their principles and alienate their members. Some news organizations have gone so far as to label 9-12′ers as radical outsiders, religious zealots, racist bigots, right-wing nut jobs, tin-foil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorists, or even as paid town-hall-wrecking astroturf.
Find out for yourself if you believe in honesty, hope, humility, and courage; if you believe America is good; or I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Here is a video of what this network of people is doing to make a difference through what has become characterized as the Tea Party Movement.
They coined this name from the acronym “Taxed Enough Already.” Several formerly legitimate news sources used the tea party concept to make repetitive sexually incredulous remarks about a movement they disagreed with.
Marginalize 9-12′ers at your own risk.
