Glenn Beck unveiled his new website, The 912 Project, on his show earlier tonight. The website is dedicated to helping people find others who share our principles and values. Read about it below and see the 9 Principles and 12 values at the core of this movement. We also have the video from Beck’s You Are Not Alone Show below.
It seems so simplistic to outline the principles and values that we, as Americans, live by. Yet, in the world as it has become recently, it has seemed to become necessary to actually take a look at what our core beliefs are.
I think that over the years, we have gotten fat, lazy and way too comfortable. I think that Americans have forgotten what its like to have to be uncomfortable or to have to struggle. We’ve forgotten that the entire world doesn’t live the way we live. We think we are sacrificing if we decide to stay at the Holiday Inn instead of the Hilton. When I read what people write about life during the Great Depression, I realize we don’t know what hardship is. When I read what people write about life during World War II, I realize we don’t know what its like for our nation to be at war. We aren’t making sacrifices, just the few who have gone to war have sacrificed for us. The rest of us have gone on with life as usual and have prospered.
We have so much prosperity that we have come to believe that is the norm. We have forgotten how to put others before ourselves. We have forgotten how to put our country before ourselves. We are selfish and petty and spoiled.
With the events of the past year, I think many of us have stepped back for a minute and looked at what has been happening around us. It is frightening to look at. Taking our freedom and prosperity for granted has put us on the verge of losing it all. We need to step back and go back to our core values.
Glenn Beck held a forum earlier tonight that we live blogged here. He thesis is that we need to remember we are not alone, we are not surrounded, in fact … We Surround Them. He laid out his list of nine principles and twelve values that are the core of our belief system. I’ve listed them below. They seem so commonsensical that it seems odd to have to list them. But apparently we do need to.
During his special he introduced his new website, The 912 Project (the912project.com). He describes it as a place for like-minded people to come together for reassurance that they are not alone. As Beck pointed out in his show, we have to support each other, we need to Unite, or Die.
The 12 Values:
- Honesty
- Reverence
- Hope
- Thrift
- Humility
- Charity
- Sincerity
- Moderation
- Hard Work
- Courage
- Personal Responsibility
- Gratitude
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.

Glenn Beck is *insane*. He and Chuck Norris should be arrested for treason and conspiring against the duly elected government of the United States.
Maybe if you evangelicals knew that Beck is Mormon, you’d marginalize him just like you did to Romney.
You people disgust me.

There are a few points that this has brought out that we need to concentrate on. One, if our kids ever thought of acting like our government officials do we would put them in time out, if they continued there course as our elected officials have we would blister their rears. Put no, we continue to re-elect these people not because they do a good job, but because we do want to get involved. Time to stop, send emails all day questioning your representatives and tell the your concerns. Second, history has proven that the economy cannot be fixed by throwing money, that we do not have, st it. We do not have to bail out the Banks, but we do have to get some one in that can see the forest not just the trees. If these highly educated people want the answer is right in front of them and if they need to know contact me. This can be fixed but we have to tell these people “NO MORE”.

Mr Liddy,
The insane part id believing that your elected official cares about you, unless you are a swamp mouse, or you are the one building the Disnet Train. The insane part is that we allowed this to happen at all.

I agree america is good in a general sense, but that doesn’t mean it is all good all the time. What exactly is america anyway? Do you mean the land, the people, the culture, or what? And what makes it so special? I have my thoughts about this, and I think it’s important to seperate and distill out just what it is we are talking about. I’m asking what is american to you and conversely, what could be considered unamerican?

Glenn, Love Ya dude. My motto is, if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. Time is short, we need to act now, and act like we mean it. I’ll do the best I can, with what I have. That’s all I can do.

I only got to watch part of the show. I believe that if we can get americans coming togather around the table and talking about what needs to be done to preserve our nation and then start coming togather as groups grow. Then there is no telling how far and what change we can get accomplished in getting the right people in the right place to change the direction of this nation and get it back to our roots. when a man gave you a hand shake and his word. That stood for something that you knew he would do everthing in his power to make it happen. And if he couldn’t he would come and tell you the truth as to why. Please get me informatio so i can start a group at my home. it is time for change, by the people, for the people, to turn this nation around again and restore godly principles. right is right and wrong is wrong.

Glenn, Thanks for sending out the call. If every American will respond in a spirit of love for each other and for our country, we can experience the revival that we are praying for. The Bible says in 2nd Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
