We Surround Them...

If you are anything like me you are sick and tired of our elected officials not listening to us at all and doing what ever they want to do. You probably feel as well that there isn't much you can do because even when you do call them countless times they don't do what you ask. Higher taxes, more and more government, and they don't have to answer to anyone. I am a huge fan of Glenn Beck. He had a caller one day tell him he was basically giving up because it feels like he is alone. This is a project Glenn has come up with to prove to him and the rest of us that we are not alone and we are not surrounded by our incompetent elected officials that only have their best interests in mind. They do not surround us..... WE SURROUND THEM!!

We Surround Them-The Unveiling
March 13th on FOX News 5pm ET

Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?

Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?

Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?

If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.

We surround them.

So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Below are nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common. I urge you to read the instructions at the end for how to help make your voice heard.

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

1. Honesty
2. Reverence
3. Hope
4. Thrift
5. Humility
6. Charity
7. Sincerity
8. Moderation
9. Hard Work
10. Courage
11. Personal Responsibility
12. Friendship

You Are Not Alone

If you agree with at least seven of those principles, then you are not alone. Please send a digital version of your picture to: wesurroundthem@foxnews.com and then stay tuned to the radio and television shows over the coming weeks to see how we intend to pull back the curtain.

One Minute Speech on Limited Government

This is a speech given to the House of Representatives on January 21, 2009 by The Honorable Jason Chaffetz of the 3rd Congressional District. After reading this I have become a fan and supporter of his.

"Thank you, Mr./Madam Speaker. Some among us believe that Government holds the keys to our prosperous future. Some have argued that only Government can solve our challenges.


I beg to differ.


Our freedom. Our liberty. Indeed, our ability to live as free people and thrive is directly proportionate to the limiting of Government in our lives and in our pocketbooks.


We established a Constitution to "secure the Blessings of Liberty." Our country was founded on the principle of limited Government.


Let us not mistake the need for a more promising economic future as an excuse to allow further encroachment of Government in our lives. Let us seize this moment in time to secure our liberties by limiting our Government.


More Government, more taxes, more spending of the people's money will NOT solve our challenges. Securing liberty will.


The United States of America is the greatest country on the face of the planet, but liberty, not bigger Government, will allow us to prosper.


Thank you, Mr./Madam Speaker. I yield back the balance of my time."

If only the rest of our elected officials had the guts to act on these words we would not be in the dire straights we are in now. We would also not be on the road to socialism either. If you believe this as well then PLEASE call your Senator!!!! The "stimulus" bill which is nothing more than a spending bill of close to a TRILLION dollars has allready passed the Democratically controlled house and heading to the Senate. Call and express your outrage and maybe some will FINALLY listen to us and do what they were elected to do..... the peoples service. I know it's an odd concept for them to think about but if we don't stand up for ourselves we deserve what we get.
