The 9/12 project seeks to return American to the strength and values found on 9/12/01 and consists of 9 principles and 12 values. They are:
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.
The Twelve 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-Gratitude |
On the face of it, this doesn't sound too threatening or divisive. The project seeks to have all government officials sign this. It is not a Republican v. Democrat thing or a left v. right thing, just a return to the core values of the Consitutional Convention.
Oh, great! You made it on. So let me know if you want to change any of the layout or the text in the header.
ReplyDeleteWell the 12 values are pretty much open to interpretation but we are going to get a lot of mileage out of the 9 Principles. Let's start with #1. America is good. Is that to dispute those who would say that America is bad? Who are those? At what about Norway? Isn't it good?
