I received a comment about the previous post that seemed to be reading too much into the last post with regard to the wording in the first principal - America is good.
Let me be clear about this - first - I copied the list from the Glenn Beck website to share his information about the 9/12 Project with ya'll. Second, I do believe that in general America is good. I do not have blind faith in or worship the American government or any politicians whatsoever!!
I believe in the principals this country was built on and am grateful that I live in a country that allows me to express my opinion without fear of arrest or public flogging for disagreeing with Obama. I am grateful that I live in a country that allows me to worship Jesus Christ and does not force me to follow something else. My worship is reserved for my Father in Heaven - not for men, government or possessions. I have tried to keep this blog less about religion and more about the direction our country is taking. I know that not everyone shares my faith in Jesus, but all that live in America are effected by the American Government. That is what this blog is about.
People that have been following this blog know that I have been pulling my hair out about our government and are not likely to think I have blind faith in the government or America - but perhaps new people might think otherwise. Sooo, I just wanted to make sure that my position is clear for everyone reading. I promise to try and be more cognizant that not everyone has read more than the most recent post.

912
I am waiting to hear from the Glenn beck staff about starting a 912 Project group in my area. For those not familiar, the 9/12 project was founded by Glenn Beck.
Nine stands for the 9 principals we agree to stand on:
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
There are Twelve VALUES we share:
The 12 Values
* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope
* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* Gratitude
People across the country are coming together to unite and say ENOUGH! If you agree with these principles and values, join me in this fight and start a group in your area. This can be achieved through the Glenn Beck website.
The Dems have gained control by beating the pavement and recruiting people not wise enough to see the lunacy being force fed to the American public. It is up to us to take counter measures and fight for our country.

Texas Tea Parties!!
YEEEHAAAW! People in Denton, Texas are mad as hell and still polite as they can be about it!! The Tea Party in Denton was a huge success as were the other Tea Parties across the country! I wanted to share my photos with ya'll and encourage you to check around to see if any other events are popping up. I am aware that there may be a second protest in Sherman, Texas on the 4TH of July. Check out what was happening in Denton on tax day.
On tax day the Department of Homeland Security issued a report about terrorist activity in the US: however, the terrorists that Janet Nepolitano was referring to include: opponents of ILLEGAL immigration, abortion opponents and VETERANS!! Of course, she has since issued an insincere apology. That makes it okay...
WOW! I am a terrorist under the DHS definition!
Does this mean they are TERRIFIED? of US??
COOL! WE DIDN"T EVEN HAVE TO BLOW ANYBODY UP!!
Plus, The LA Times categorized Tea Party participants as "STEEPED IN INSANITY"; the Washington Post called us "nutjobs" and a CNN remote correspondant covering the Chicago Tea Party said that it was "not family viewing" and threw it back to NY because she was being called out on her refusal to allow a man to finish his sentence when asked why he was there and the issue of her arguing the Obama talking points with they guy. Since when do "reporters" argue with the man on the street??
I just consider the source of the name calling and - you know - it encourages me!! It means that they are unable to keep ignoring us and are afraid that we may succeed in drawing attention to the REAL insanity. People that have not been paying attention are starting to notice the problems and the runaway train of irresponsible spending. People are starting to notice that Congress is trying to side step the Constitution in their attempt to federalize EVERYTHING.
Why is removing tattoos on LA gang members a federal taxpayer responsibility??
How did smelly pigs in Iowa become the responsibility of Texas and Tennessee??
Why is Georgia expected to pay for the Miami Orange Bowl parking upgrade??
How did Virginia and Maryland get put on the hook for a museum dedicated to the mafia??
Check around your community for events and groups organizing to fight the shift to socialism and the federal take over issues granted to the States by the CONSTITUTION.
Email me with any pics from other Tea Parties and info of future events!

It's TAX TIME!!
I know I have been gone awhile... Honestly, I am so sickened by the news and the state of our country that I have quit watching any news and have avoided any media that I know will just give me a headache and thoroughly tee me off. This all has me so disgusted and upset that I had to just stop paying attention - I feel so helpless - at least until the next ELECTION when we can serve Obama with an eviction notice!
It is time for the TEA PARTIES!! I encourage everyone to put in an appearance at the nearest TEA PARTY. I am a government employee and our local one is during office hours; sooo, several co-workers and myself are marching to another nearby county having one after work to protest BAILOUTS, HIGHER TAXES and FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILY!! I will be on the Denton, Texas townsquare, Wednesday, April 15 as an angry taxpayer!! I hope some of you can join us in Denton or another TEA PARTY close to where you live!
I will post pictures and hopefully there will be a grand turnout! The weather in Denton is predicted to be excellent for a TEXAS TEA PARTY!!
If you are not aware of any TEA PARTIES close to you, check out this website.
http://taxdayteaparty.com/
To the right of the screen will be an option to click your state and they have a list of confirmed TEA PARTIES. If you are able to go, take your camera and post pictures of actual taxpayers that are angry and fed up with this out of control Congress! We are fed up with Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd and Barack Obama. I am also fed up with ALL members of Congress that voted for these BAILOUTS without actually reading the bills!! And I am fed up with Republicans that dropped the ball when they ahd the power to do something! They all stink and they should hear about it!!
Let's get out there and show Congress where WE THE PEOPLE, THE TAXPAYERS stand!!
