We Surround Them Movement

Glenn Beck, conservative radio/TV talk show host, is the founder/promoter of this very simple movement. We the normal people out number all of the special interest groups.
See Glenn Beck's website for details

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, beliefs, and philosophies we get lost in arguments that both rational and irrational. But if we move to discussion back to fundamental principles and can agree on a starting 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. Also, with a common framework.

Glenn puts if very directly and simple.. We should be live in 9 core principles and hold 12 values in high regard. This is the framework to make these policy and political decisions. 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 campains, and corrupt power brokering that goes on now in the our governmental circles.

Glenn is asking that people that hold to these principles to send a digital photo of themselves to wesurroundthem@foxnews.com . Also, Glenn is asking that we the people, yes us, to get involved working with each other. He has endorsed MEETUP.COM as the means for us to gather together and meet each other and realize that we are not alone. Together we can make a difference.

On the meetup site you can found you local WE SURROUND THEM group and where they will be meeting. My wife and I have signed up for the Fort Worth meeting and we very excited about our first meeting. We want and need to know that we are not alone in our dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in our capitals and want to find some people that are willing to step up and start working on making those changes.

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.
