The FREEDOM Principles
WHY JOIN THE 912 PROJECT?
9 PRINCIPLES
1. America Is Good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the external rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty
“I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to
maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the
character of an honest man.” George Washington
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family
“It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is
known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing
connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice
“I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and
exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political.” Thomas Jefferson
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, , but there is no guarantee of equal results.
Life,
Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right
to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him
comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
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.
Charity
“It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are
worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
On
your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot
restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks,
or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Who
works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a
nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson
