A new movement is swelling in the United States as a reaction to the economic crisis and it is headed by Glenn Beck. Called the 912 Project, Glenn Beck's policy emphasizes the importance of 9 principles and 12 values that he says have been lost in the USA today.
Glenn Beck claims that 12 core values are essential to a strong country and that these values have been lost in a cloud of greed and corruption. According to Beck Americans have lost their way and that the 12 values must be restored before things can get better.
The 12 values Glenn Beck is telling Americans they must embrace are:
- Honesty
- Reverence
- Hope
- Thrift
- Humility
- Charity
- Sincerity
- Moderation
- Hard Work
- Courage
- Personal Responsibility
- Gratitude
Glenn Beck is also telling Americans in all walks of life that there are 9 principles that must be lived by:
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.

Watch Glenn Beck Live on Fox News: We The People, You Are Not Alone
Not everybody is a fan of Glenn Beck and the 912 Project. Several critical articles have surfaced since the Fox News show introducing the912project.com first aired.
The most consistent complaint about Beck's ideology is the way it ignores how a Republican government was in power when the "transgressions" that caused the financial collapse took place.
The site, which is currently offline as we write this post, defines essential American qualities such as believing in god, being opposed to income tax, being pro marriage (as long as your straight) and many other gems.
It’s more of the same that we’ve seen from the hard right recently, this whole socialism is bad, our money is being stolen for us, Barack
is a Communist etc etc. While some of those points might be true, what they continue to overlook is that Bush created the mess the country is in today, and Bush was the one that run up the foreign debt and started the bailouts. But no, it’s only bad now a new, black guy takes over the mess.
In the show launching the The 912 Project, Beck interviewed Chuck Norris, who earlier this week said that thousands of militia were preparing for a military takeover of the United States. If that doesn’t say batshit crazy, I’m not sure what else can.
Note: the912project.com site is still offline.

Were getting the same message! Don
I hope they get it fixed soon
at 03:40 on March 14th, 2009
I have been trying to get on too,and it keeps telling me Forbidden,have you gotten any info as to why?
at 06:34 on March 14th, 2009
or maybe it doesn't exist...maybe there is nothing there but hot air
so some paranoid conspiracy nut who can't even set up a website is supposed to be telling everyone what to do?
lol
at 08:00 on March 14th, 2009
It does exist....there was such an overwhelming response to the 912 project that the server couldn't handle the hits it was receiving and went down. They're working to get it back up as we speak. Don't fret, Willlllburrrr...Mr Ed says hey...(dipsh!t)
at 09:28 on March 14th, 2009
ha ha
it exists despite the fact that neither you nor anyone else has ever seen it!
over whelming response?
what website cannot handle a few thousand wingnuts? How do you know this happened?
how long before beck starts wearing robes and giving himself some elaborate title so you can worship him properly?
it is astonishing how few people can think for themselves and need some nut to tell them what to believe
BTW I see you are already having problems living the "12 values"
at 11:48 on March 14th, 2009
Why are you even on this site???? Get a life........ As far as some nut telling us what to do??? urn your tv on and look who is telling YOU what to do!
at 14:27 on March 26th, 2009
THIS IS FOR REAL
at 12:25 on March 14th, 2009
Willbur,
May I suggest you either embrace this movement or move along. Your elitist attitude is part of the problem...
at 17:58 on March 14th, 2009
Hey Will
You mean worship Glenn like most of the dummys worship Obo.
at 22:36 on March 15th, 2009
No. Don't worship Glenn silly. Read the principles and apply them to your life. When you can honestly say you are living the principles your voice will have credibility. Have a lovely day.
at 18:51 on June 12th, 2009
who do you worship? and no one worships Glenn ..we respect him, that may be something you don't understand ..I am on the 912 site right now ..have no idea why you are having a problem. Glenn has all the research , DO YOU ? I have researched Politics and the campaign and all the candidates lifes, and you may think that Glenn is full of it and that there isn't anything wrong in America..but can you really say it isn't true? it is true... if you are interested in living in America and being free what do you have to lose but your freedom and life check it out for yourself. Everything that I knew growing up is going down the toilet. I am 62 and I KNOW WE ARE IN TROUBLE and Glenn (it is not just Glenn saying it either) is smart enough along with a lot of others you don't hear knows and they are trying to save America for people like you that don't want to do it for your self. I hear the left always being nasty ..look at Letterman ..Letterman has a child out of wedlock and he didn't marry his wife for a year after the baby was born..people on the left think that it is ok to trash on the right even their children and it is ok..it isn't ok....if you condone it then you are as bad.

Wilbur, you sound like a man with a big ego but very insecure, so you need to beat down on others in orde to eleate yourself.
If you are not in sinc with the purpose of this website, go to the other ones, like move-on, etc. There are plenty of those that should suit your taste.
And for your own welfare: learn tolerance, otherwise you will be eaten alive from the inside out.
at 17:02 on March 16th, 2009
I'm not sure how to eleate myself...but it sounds interesting
at 10:23 on March 15th, 2009
You know what wilbur? It's exactly people like you that were fighting against. If this were'nt America, we would have already put you and Obama on a plane and sent your asses to Russia. What a dip-s---! DL

To Congress:"We're keeping score.Brother."
Like Big Brother is not already watching!
My American flag is at half mast it was lowered on Jan.20th
This is to state that I believe MY COUNTRY should be in morning
for at least the next 4 years, Hopefully by then the voters will have smartened
up and get rid of this liberal leach.Unless the Acorn by then is to intrenched.
God Bless The USA and what it used to stand for.
PS a terrorist is a terrorist.And I will not be politicaly correct to a murderer.
at 11:57 on March 16th, 2009
Willbur, among the paranoid conspiracy nuts are those who feel compelled to cast doubt on the merits of the 912 Project.
at 19:35 on March 17th, 2009
Glenn, keep pounding. Eventually even the extremely dense ones will notice their loss of rights. Commisar Soros has complete control of comrade Obama. With real whippets like Reid and Pelosi plus the outstanding cabinet appointees, it seems like a rehearsal for a daily comedy show. Unfortunately this is real. A new European union with the US as part of it;cap and trade; universal health Care(including illegals);the hoax on climate control; and the redistribution of wealth definitely shows a road map to not Socialism, but COMMUNISM.
GO GET THEM GLENN!!!!

Emil, You said it better than I am able to. Keep up the good work.
We are all in this together.
at 19:48 on March 19th, 2009
I think you should wake up!!!
at 09:49 on April 1st, 2009
Wilbur,
People like you are the reason our country is in the shape it is today. Just keep your head buried in the sand.

obmmagetten is moving faster than a speeding bullet to take all our rights away. what can we do and where do i find a local place to meet other 912ers. Living in Mesa AZ

It's about time someone had the guts to tell America to go back to the basics. We are sick of the liberal media and "Hollywood" telling us the way to live. Our country is in big trouble if we do not stop the "entitlement" attitude, the "bail-me-out" attitude, and continue to ask the government to save us. Obama wants to turn us into a socialist country, if we continue to remain silent, it will happen. Listen to Glen Beck, he is talking common sense. Stop being mesmorized by our president.
