Please, pack up your bags and move somewhere else, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, any of those will do. Do NOT infringe on the liberties and freedoms OTHERS enjoy, don't take up our breathing space. IF on the other hand you are happy living in America and all she stands for, then with all your breath HELP US DEFEND HER, SHE IS UNDER ASSAULT!

People listened to him every time he gave a speech and bought everything he said; fell for it hook line and sinker. When a reporter would confront him with our suspicions of his having Socialistic tendencies, he laughed it off. He MOCKED us and our fears. What I propose we ALL do is look into a candidates PAST, yes a past IS important when it comes to public office. And YES associations are VERY important, it says a lot about who you are. Democrats tried to shame us by accusing us of "guilt by association" and in part, yes, they are RIGHT! And guess what, it's OKAY! If you are with bad people, their habits are BOUND to rub off on you, not always, but the likelihood is definitely there. They thought he would change, like flipping on a light switch, his tendencies, the way he voted, everything, from Senator to President, and folks, it doesnt happen that way. So, my two cents this time around, PAY ATTENTION TO ACTIONS, THEY SPEAK VOLUMES!

There is NO NEED to create a law to enforce the one that already exists! That constitutes facilitating "loopholes" around those already exisiting laws.

They were expected to get REAL JOBS in the PRIVATE SECTOR. Perhaps, and this is just perhaps, if we, the public at large saw our Congresspeople doing jobs, just like us, it would give the private sector a respect and admiration that it has not had, in a long time and we would think twice before villainizing it. If they did it, it would give it credence, in the eyes of those who think "we the people" are greedy. If they had to work like us, maybe they would appreciate our tenacity and candor and passion.

Our founding fathers NEVER INTENDED for our Congressmen and Congresswomen to reign supreme for terms and terms and terms. They were elected, to serve a LIMITED amount of time, and they were capable of doing something else in the PRIVATE SECTOR.

Russia (who have aspirations of claiming Alaska as their territory) and North Korea (who allegdly, and I believe it, have a missle ON ITS LAUNCH PAD ready to be fired...capable of reaching Alaska. I believe this is a large part of the "test" as well.

I am a citizen of the US but don't own my own home. I would hate to give up my right to vote just because I don't own my own home. I own a car, would that count to you? That's about all.

Sometimes the most important things in life are the ones that were there all the time, staring us in the face.

God bless you guys that are organizing tea parties, attending tea parties, organizing protests, sending things to our Representatives and the White House. You are MAKING a DIFFERENCE! Don't let anyone make you feel small. Don't let anyone tell you that what you're doing doesn't matter, IT DOES. If we try, and in the end nothing got done, then that's on THEM, not on YOU. The terrible thing would be that you did NOTHING and nothing got done. YOU MATTER. I MATTER. WE DO INDEED SURROUND THEM! WE ALWAYS HAVE WE ALWAYS WILL.

But here's what gets me more. I know people who were born in Cuba....and they remember how they had to live, trading item for item, because there wasn't enough of something. They had to dilute sweetened condensed milk because there wasn't any milk, for example, of some of the things they had to do, out of necessity...if there were eggs, and someone else needed them, and they had something you needed, you made a trade for it....and those people who lived through that, are afraid it might happen to us here. And they refuse to get into our situation because it's sort of their way to protect themselves....I'm not sure if I made myself absolutely clear, if not please ask and I"ll try to re-explain it...but point is, they are afraid that our way of life here will have to change drastically, for our very survival, and they don't want to deal with it. It's not going to go away that way....we NEED to be aware of what's happening, we NEED to publicly let them know that this is UNACCEPTABLE. UNACCEPTABLE, DO YOU HEAR US WASHINGTON????

So sad, we're not going to be successful at taking our country back UNLESS and UNTIL we start to pay attention to the things that MATTER.

One of those groups I actually belong to, I thank you very much! Wed, 18 Mar 2009 04:41:30 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/stand-up-and-lead/#IDComment17170233 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=169#IDComment17044555 I was wondering if there is anyone in Miami on here who is also a college student who is trying to start a movement on their campus, or knows of anyone who has. How would I go about doing something like that? I am wanting to do that but don't know where to start. Any advice??? I desperately WANT to get the word out to a people who seemingly either care little or care and dont have enough gumption to get up and do something themselves. Please if someone has something to add to help me out Id appreciate it!!!! Peace to all!!

Perhaps it would have to be done on a page that links to this one? I don't know how to do that but just a thought, or perhaps a page that references this one or somehow has a connection to it, but that would be great. We could find each other and get together to make effective changes in our communities. Community after community after community coming together to voice our displeasure and create positive changes make a difference. This is a great idea you had. I hope to be able to join in this page or area, whatever it is you are able to do. Click on my name to send me a message, i believe you can email from there, and let me know if there is a way I can help you. Thanks for your candor!

I feel it's our deep LOVE for our country that makes us have such disdain for those who run it and claim to know what they are doing, and that they have our best intentions in mind. Clearly, they do not. Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:48:10 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=169#IDComment16909759 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=169#IDComment16909408 Nick I too am a college student, conservative like you, and it is indeed a lonely world for us. I have no idea where to go or what to do, but I know I want to do SOMETHING. There are a FEW conservatives that I've talked to, but too timid to do anything to change anything and I'm just not that way. I feel it would almost be a waste of time to start a movement that few or worse, none, will be interested in following. I'm in FL, a little further south, Miami...liberaltown as far as I'm concerned. I feel your pain.

Also with all due respect, if he is the enemy of everything we stand for and all we are built on, then that would lead one to believe he is indeed the enemy of America. I believe that, and I am not crazy nor mentally disturbed. I just want my country to cease being held hostage, which SHE IS. When she is not allowed to work in the manner under which she was built to work, she is a hostage of those who wish to control her.

To call him an enemy or traitor, is, at least to me, not shameful. Liberals were not unabashed in their comments of GWB and the mainstream media's coverage of them and their demonstrations of all kinds, is example of that. The left was met with approval, whatever they did, whatever they said. So, we are entitled, particularly when life, liberty and our pursuit of INDIVIDUAL happiness are all under assault to say whatever we need to, to get our point across. It is not Anti-American to call our President an enemy, or traitor, when he is not living up to what a President is supposed to. And clearly, Mr. Obama is not.

I'm in Miami FL, what I consider to be one of the many "liberaltowns USA" in our country....is there anyone else out there like me, who feels that no one cares, and that everyone is just off doing their thing letting the chips fall where they may....I want to do something. I go to college here, and I want to start some kind of movement, but I don't know how; where to go, how to get people motivated or even how to make them aware. Someone out there that can help?
