| | | | Glenn Beck's 912 Project The 912 Projects is for Americans looking for direction in taking back the control of our country. It is based on 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 |
