The 9.12 Project

First of all, this is my 100th post! It's a mile marker.

As evidenced by previous posts, I have been making efforts to get politically involved through grassroots organizations (well, mostly, I don't think NRA is considered grassroots anymore). Yesterday was the special March 13th "We Surround Them" Glenn Beck show. Tyler and I joined about 500 other like minded individuals in Lindon for the show. It was inspirational. I had a consistent "I'm about to cry but probably shouldn't so I don't get embarrassed" lump in my throat. Glenn unveiled his new The912Project.com website. While its server is currently down as it is overloaded with people (the server went down almost immediately after he announced the site) I will have a permanent link to it on my side bar. Here's the drift of the 9.12 Project. It has a twofold symbolic meaning. First, we want to be like the people we were on 9.12.2001, the day after the twin towers were laid low. In other words, we want to be good people, patriotic people, people who cherish life, liberty and family, people who are grateful to God. People who realize their state of freedom is fragile and act accordingly. Second, it will embody the 9 principles and 12 values Glenn put forth and millions have agreed with. From what I gather (and I wish the website were up so you could all see for sure!) it is a call to each of us to band together and make a difference from the bottom up on both community and national levels and to become a force for good, a force politicians will have to answer to. And once you can visit the website, it will give tangible ways to do so or links to groups in your area that you can help make a difference with. And don't be fooled if you don't hear anything on the news about it, as such a group is very much at odds with the media's agenda, this group is very large.
Still preferring to feel comfortable in your ambivalence or feel there isn't a real emergency? Read the signs of the second coming. It's time to get our heads out of the sand. It is time to feel in control of our future, it is time to stop being "freedom freeloaders," it is time to act now as we are in very real danger of giving up and loosing our freedoms that generations over have fought and died to win and preserve.
