The 9/12Project is simply a group of Patriots that refuse to forget the feeling of pride, love, compassion, and unity that we all felt when we woke up the day after 9/11/2001. Do you remember how you felt? I do. And, unlike the Obamas, I was proud to be an American (remember, they said that, after Obama was elected , it was the first time in their lives they felt proud to be Americans - their words, not mine).
Today, I am headed out to show unity with others who feel the way I do, by marching on the US Capitol tomorrow. Although there are always a certain amount of crazies at any demonstration, the root of this movement is not that of the radical Right, or the radical Left. It is about Common Sense. Less Government. Less Taxes. Less Bail-outs. Less wasteful spending. Less "Washington as Usual". More "By the people". We seem to have forgotten who works for whom in this country.
If you cannot make it, please take a minute to catch some of the coverage on TV. Or, more importantly, take some time to reflect on how you felt that morning after 9/11. Did you run out and buy a flag and then not replace it a couple of years later when it wore out? Did you commit to not allowing the government to leave us that vulnerable again and then vote for "change" based on popularity? Or did you not sleep at night, cry real tears, and still find yourself with goose bumps 8 years later when you hear Alan Jackson sing "Where Were You When The World Stop Turning"???
I love this country. I refuse to let these Socialists take it from my kids.
I will try to BLOG a bit while I am at the rally - no promises though. It's hard to text while you are waving a flag!!!

I still get goosebumps when I hear that Alan Jackson song... and I still tear up. But you know what?? I still get goosebumps & tear up every time I hear our country's national anthem!! I really do! THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER! I even choke up when saying the Pledge of Allegiance. It means that much to me, and it means even more when I am with a group of those honoring this country and saying the pledge or singing the anthem. Like you, I love this country too. I believe God expects us to love and uplift the country He makes us citizens of, and I am absolutely glad to do so! God Bless America!!
ReplyDeleteCari, I am right there with you. I get teary and choked up at all those songs.
ReplyDeletethe Patriot- I wish I could be at the rally with you!
