We the People of South
Dakota...
STRONGLY AGREE IN GLENN BECK'S 9 PRINCIPLES AND 12 VALUES!
They are:
NINE 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 eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has
ordained.” George Washington
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
TWELVE VALUES
Honesty ~ Reverence ~ Hope ~ Thrift ~
Humility ~ Charity ~ Sincerity ~
Moderation ~ Hard Work ~ Courage ~ Personal Responsibility ~ Gratitude
