Getting Back to Basics - "Project 912"

Today, Glenn Beck kicked off his "Project 912" which I was fortunate enough to see and hear his TV Program "We Surround Them" at a Viewing Party in the company of a couple hundred of other patriotic Americans from our area who want to see the traditional, founding values of this country return - this includes fiscal responsibility and a minimal role for the federal government. There were hundreds of other such viewing parties across the country.

As I understand it, "912" has a double meaning. Beck's premise is that on September 12, 2001, we didn't stop to think about how of if to respond to each other - we just did it. We were a community. We took care of each other. We were kind. We were selfless. But, we have lost that spirit.

Six months from today, on September 12 ("912"), he is going to unveil the results of his project and expects that Americans from across this country will have success stories to share as well.

Secondly, and perhaps primarily, he has created a set of 9 core values and 12 principles that epitomize the American spirit. He is calling for a return to these basic tenets and a reclaiming of America from a wayward course that is steering us from these ideals.

From our standpoint as business people, entrepreneurs, salespeople, and proud Americans, we need to intentionally embody and exude such traits and characteristics as free enterprise, individual initiative and responsibility, faith, honesty, integrity, and trust.
