Happy First Birthday to The 912 Project
Posted by: | CommentsHappy Birthday to The 912 Project…
and thank you Glenn Beck and FOX News for doing so much to help wake up America and to get people involved!
Today is the first official birthday of The 912 Project that was started by Glenn Beck and announced on a special “We Surround Them” show on his FOX News program. That nights show helped to rekindle a whole new level of patriotism that has not been seen in the United States for what seems like an eternity.
Immediately following that show, people began forming 912 groups all over the country in an effort to let people know that we are truly the real majority in this country and that we are the ones our lawmakers should be listening to rather than a minority group of progressives. Although Mr. Beck is not responsible for the formation of the Tea Party movement we see today, he and other hosts had a great deal to do with the building of the movement because of this one not so small special “We Surround Them” show Beck held just one year ago. I have no doubt that Glenn won’t take credit for having so much to do with these movements and I know there are some out there who would like to deny him of that fact. The fact is that the people Read More→
Where is America’s Hero?
Posted by: | CommentsAmerica needs a hero like never before. Congressional members are retiring in droves, young and old alike. Was it too much to ask that you do the job that you were sent to Washington DC for, while listening to your constituents’ input? Last summer displayed an overpaid pack of cowards in Congress, and now not only are they ducking constituents, they are ducking out permanently. What do you know, that you won’t tell? You were supposed to be the best of your respective state to represent “We the People”… instead you collected a healthy paycheck, pork and bribes, party and privileges and now expect a hefty (let’s see if we can eliminate this waste of money) retirement once again upon the backs of the taxpayers.
A little over a year ago, I asked for one stalwart Read More→
Tea Party and 912 Project Groups – Clean Your House
Posted by: | CommentsA number of people have been addressing their concerns with me regarding the mixing of politics and the Tea Party or 912 Project Groups.
The issue isn’t about the groups assisting members in vetting candidates or providing candidates with a platform to let people know their positions on the issues, which I think we can all agree is an important next step in this movement. Rather, the issues stem around group leaders being candidates or being involved in campaigns. Not only is this against the basic principles of the grass roots movement, in some cases it might even become a legal issue.
One particular group that has been brought to my attention, is one located in the SW region of which I was informed the leader is running as an actual candidate. It took less than five minutes for us to dig up potentially damaging information for the Tea Party Group and the candidate. It was also questioned whether the individual was using their position to move donations to their group over to their campaign. This is in no way acceptable if contributors are not informed of this. I’m not bringing this issue to light to cause controversy. It is my intention to save the grass roots movements from receiving undeserved black-eyes from a few rogue individuals and/or groups with adverse agendas.
I’m sure we have all been seeing the reports of the IRS hiring a large number of agents for this tax season. This should be warning enough for you to pay careful attention to everything we do. I have no doubt there will be many audits for those in the conservative movement and new organizations will be likely to draw their attention.
If you truly care for the movement and the progress the movement has made, I would strongly recommend individuals respectfully bow out of the groups to keep the whole movement strong and to prevent unwanted controversy. Remember, the movement is not about you or your personal gain. It is actually all about the exact opposite. Both the Tea Party and 912 Project movements are about a group of people who wish to do the right thing and bring our government back to being one of “We The People”.
Kansas Moves Forward on 10th Amendment Resolution
Posted by: | CommentsI am receiving great updates from my friends in Kansas, regarding their proposal for a 10th Amendment Resolution in Kansas. Kansas is just one of the many states seeking a 10th Amendment Resolution for state sovereignty to stand firm above any laws passed down by the Federal Government.
January 15th was the 10 Amendment Hearing in Topeka. 400-500 Kansans showed up to support SCR-1615. It was a GOOD day!!!
What’s the next step?
SCR-1615 will be worked (final action) in committee. This is one of the most dangerous times for a bill/resolution. Legislators can change the substance of the legislation & then send it to the floor for a vote.
What can we do NOW?
1) Call or write the committee members encouraging their support & passage of the resolution “AS IS”
2) Call or write the Senate Leadership to encourage passage “AS IS”.
3) Call or write YOUR Senator to contact the committee members & State Leadership to pass it “AS IS”.
Here is the contact information for the committee members:
