DO YOU
BELIEVE IN AMERICA?
1)
Yes or no: Do you believe America is a good
place, that we've lost our way over the
years, that we have done bad things but
generally speaking we tried hard. We try to
make amends. We have tried to do the right
thing. Just like everybody else, we fail
from time to time and we have truly lost our
way in the last 20 years. But gosh, if you
look at America, she's good and our founders
were good and our founding documents are
good. We've just strayed too far away from
them. Yes or no.
2)
Yes or no: I believe in God. I may not go to
the same church or synagogue or mosque as
the majority of people in America, but I
believe in God and he is the center of my
life, and God does not tell people to behead
others or to persecute others that see God
in a different way. As long as that god is
not telling them to persecute others.
Yes or no.
3)
Yes or no: It is my responsibility to try to
be better and a more honest person than I
was yesterday. Sometimes I fail, I'll make
mistakes, but it's my main mission to be
better than I was personally than I was
yesterday.
4)
Yes or no: The family is sacred. I and my
spouse are the ultimate authority under God
when it comes to my family. I raise my
family, and that comes with a grave
responsibility. If I fail, I answer to God.
5)
Yes or no: If you break the law, you pay the
penalty. Justice is blind and no one is
above it.
6)
Yes or no: I have a right to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, but that is
not a guarantee of equal results.
7)
Yes or no: I work hard for what I have, and
I will share it with others that I choose
when I choose, should I choose. Government
cannot force me to be charitable.
8) It
is not un-American for anyone to disagree
with my opinion, but my opinion or others'
opinions may be anti-American. Anti-American
rhetoric would be anything that is
destructive to the Constitution and our
country as our founders understood it.
9)
And the last one is the government works for
me. The government answers to me. I do not
answer to the government.
How many are
there? One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine. There are nine of them.
Do you agree with seven of them?
Here's what
I want you to do. Step one: No matter where
you are right now, I want you to take a
picture of yourself. I want you to take a
picture, and I ask you and you'll understand
as we go in the next couple of weeks, I ask
you if you could bring these and ask your
children -- can we post these please on the
Internet, on the website? I want you to ask
as many people as you know, do you believe
in these things? Just seven out of nine. Do
you believe in them? Then will you please
take a picture of yourself. If you ask your
family and you ask your children tonight, do
you believe in these things. Take a picture
of your spouse. Not as a family. Take them
one at a time and send them to
Wesurroundthem@gmail.com.
This is how much I believe that you are not
alone
