WE Surround Them

Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?

Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?

Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?

If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.

We surround them.

So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Below are nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common. I urge you to read the instructions at the end for how to help make your voice heard.

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.

You Are Not Alone

If you agree with at least seven of those principles, then you are not alone. Please send a digital version of your picture to: wesurroundthem@foxnews.com and then stay tuned to the radio and television shows over the coming weeks to see how we intend to pull back the curtain.

Beck’s becoming more and more hysterical on Fox News recently, a noticeable change from his first couple of weeks worth of shows.

If he goes off shrieking as he does almost daily on his radio show, they’ll dump him. I know they are already getting a ton of complaints about his language in the 5PM time slot.

He has many great points, but if he can’t control himself while on Fox, he’s toast.

JMHO.

I’m not talking about the ‘content’ I’m talking about how he’s delivering it, to be crystal clear. I actually like the Fox News show much better than his radio program.

Really, Interesting. Do you work for Fox? I was unaware they post the letter citing complainants where everyone could see them. Is it on the net? do you have a link? I know a fair amount of people where I work find it interesting and very different because what he is exposing is things you don’t see anywhere else. I guess the public view info will be in the ratings.

I’ll have to see whats out there.

I like his show and his message for the most part but when he interviews a guest he needs to let them talk and he works a little too hard at being even-handed by saying both parties are at fault. Clearly most of what's going on now is the result of Democrat policies from the Clinton era.

I'm also getting a little sick of all the doom and gloom. Are things bad?—Yes. Are they going to be bad for awhile?—Yes. Are the Dems making it worse?—Yes.

But this is still the greatest country on the planet. There are more opportunities here than anywhere else in the world. Even the poorest of Americans would be considered well off in many parts of the world. We had to go through Carter to get to Reagan. History can repeat itself if we just perservere.

Before the black helicopter arrives to pick me up I'd like to make a statement.

I don't know about Glen Beck, but Fox News is not much better than other news outlets - they do their fair share of fawning and shilling for Obama and the rest of the unconstitutional crowd.

Send our pictures and identity in to a news outlet? Give permission to use them publicly in an unspecified manner? This information becomes property of Fox (ownership: Democrat) and can certainly be “borrowed” by the administration to find/identify potential usurpers..

And we get drawn in by some pie-in-the-sky "We surround THEM" BS? My ride is here...

______________

I’m not saying to fear something the government has to work for to find, I’m saying, why hand it out for free? Why place it in a central location with others that may be against the current administration?

This could be akin to the same thing as “registering” a portion of the population that may cause trouble. An underhanded way, sure. But not so far out of the question.

A Sarah look-alike, how cute. It’s nice to see the faces of the people who think like we do. And, I really like Glenn Beck. He’s on opposite Rush in L.A. and I am preferring Glenn.

Damn straight I may cause trouble. I have every intent of being a constant thorn in the side of this administration and the democrats till my dying day. That's why I make things like this as a form of dissent.

Just curious as to how you would know this.

And I admire you for it! I'm also a little jealous of your skills at photo shop.

My comments were nothing personal, I just see agenda in everything these days, or is that conspiracy? I believe in keeping my eyes wide open to anything that could be suspect.

I also believe it is best to keep a low profile when it comes to sending things to news agencies or anywhere that brings the eye of Big Brother on you. I've never listened to Glen Beck, but he's on Fox where RINO’s go to feed and drink.

I disagree with you. I think he’s like a lot of us, and feeling very emotional about where this country is headed. I would MUCH rather listen to him, than Hannity, no offense to Hannity, as I like him too...it’s just Beck says more than the same things over and over.

And no, he is not shrieking, nor is he hysterical...far from it. And have you ever watched Fox & Friends? THEY should be taken off Fox...they are morons - JMHO.
