The Fight for Principles and Values

This movement wants to stop the fighting and get back to the core of what makes us as a people and a nation great. When we talk about policies, procedures, and philosophies we get lost in arguments that both rational and irrational. Then the arguments escalate into personal attacks and name calling because we do not understand each others points of view.  But if we move to discussion back to fundamental principles and can agree on a starting framework, a common framework,  to make decisions. All of these policy questions become much simpler. This idea of having a framework for make decisions is vital for making good decisions.

This is very directly and simple.. We should be living by 9 core principles and hold 12 values in high regard. This is the framework to make decisions of any kind: personal, policy, and political. Will we still have disagreements, YES. Will we have debates on how to proceed, YES. But maybe what we can cut down on is the outlandish personal attacks, smear campaigns, and corrupt power brokering that goes on now in the our governmental circles as well as everywhere in our lives.

Is very clear this is not a normal political movement with some charismatic person leading the charge to organize and follow him to take charge of the government.  No quite the opposite.  We are being called to become the people that we there on Sept 12, 2001.   We had been brought together by a horrific event.  We worked together, we thought and acted not out of our own selfish interested but for the greater good.  

We are being called to become better people at the core of our beings. When we become better people and we can help others become become better people.  This is how to make the everything better for all of us; one person, one relationship at a time.

We are being encouraged to start small with our friends and neighbors.  Just start out by taking. Glenn Beck's set for show was made up look like a kitchen table. The place where a lot of regular people hash out the events and problems. That is what Glenn wants us to do. TALK TO EACH OTHER, LISTEN, and LEARN. When we do that we will build the relationships with each other that have been missing from our neighborhoods, and society in general. for a very long time.

These are the principles and values for this project.
