If you've been feeling like I have lately, you don't even want to watch the news. And when you do, you talk loudly to the TV and wonder if everyone has lost their minds.
The things that are happening are like a bad dream that we can't wake up from. And what I hear over and over is, "But what can we do?" Well I have an answer for ya, folks. And it doesn't involve contacting your Senator and Congressman for the umpteenth time. That is beginning to feel a little useless, too.
I mean...with the incredible passage of this monstrosity of a so-called "stimulus" bill...that absolutely NO ONE read before voting for... it became clear to me and most of the rest of "thinking" America that our representatives are either not representing us, or they cannot...because they are outnumbered by the left.
The frustration of this reality has caused some of my readers as well as other bloggers to even talk of leaving the country.
Leave America? I don't think so... I live in Texas, folks...and along with Superman and The Lone Ranger...we Texas kids grow up learning the words of William B. Travis, who led the fight at the Alamo. "I Will Never Surrender Or Retreat"
Here is the statement in context;
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the
Mexicans under Santa Anna -- I have sustained
a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24
hours & have not lost a man -- The enemy has
demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise,
the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the
fort is taken --
I have answered the demand with
a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from
the walls --
I shall never surrender or retreat.
Well, tonight, folks, I found a place we can stand together and let our voice be heard...and I want to encourage you to join. Join, and blog it, and Twitter it and put it on your Facebook and Myspace and send it to everyone on your email list. This is gonna be big folks...and believe me it's gonna make a difference and it's gonna be heard in Washington.
It's all based on believing seven...just SEVEN of the following nine things.
The Nine Principles
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
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.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
You Are Not Alone
If you agree with at least seven of those principles, then you are not alone. Please send a digital version of your picture to: wesurroundthem@foxnews.com and then stay tuned to the radio and television shows over the coming weeks to see how they intend to pull back the curtain.
Folks, I promised you a little Valentine gift at the beginning of this post... and here it is. These are the people that share your heart for our country. Now...let's stand shoulder to shoulder... heart to heart... and purpose as William B. Travis did... to
NEVER SURRENDER OR RETREAT!
Happy Valentine's Day, Folks...now let's take America back. Kate~
