Oh yeah, forgot about that. And that’s in addition to everything else they accomplished over the weekend.
Not that it will matter to the Beck detractors.
Actually GRRRRR did know... that was a short version of what was accomplished over the weekend. I was there, too.
If you want to see the entire schedule: http://www.mercuryone.org/restoring-love/schedule
There was a huge gathering by FreedomWorks, teaching people from 20 countries around the world, including China, how to start freedom movements in their own countries. There were events at Highpoint Church that gathered religious leaders together (Under God: Indivisible). There was a women’s conference headlined by Michelle Bachmann. There was a MASSIVE food drive that sent 11 tractor trailer trucks to 11 cities where giving food directly to the needy is prohibited/discouraged.
There were many, many local acts of service throughout the Dallas area by about 35,000 volunteers who came from all over the country, and the world, to do good works. It was HOT. Over 100 degrees every single day.
It was an inspiring event. I met many, many good people who are singularly inspired and motivated to restore our country and wrest it away from the collectivists who occupy it.
So yeah... GRRRRR got it right.
The overarching goal of Restoring Love is to act as an antidote to the acidic hatred that the occupier in the White House has been fomenting for years. Barry’s Marxist crowd would LOVE to have riots in the streets so they can snap the trap on us.
They would LOVE for those who lost their jobs and homes to be beholden to the ever-expanding collectivist government to take care of them, because they can no longer care for themselves and their families.
The larger idea of Restoring Love was to showcase what individuals can and will do for each other, with no pay, no recognition ... just the deep reward in our hearts and souls to the right thing for our neighbor... voluntarily and not as forced by the government. These many, many acts of charity are just the beginning of an ongoing movement.
If people in need know that their neighbors are willing and ready to help, they don’t need to become dependent on the government that would gleefully enslave them forever on their brand of false, forced charity. And they will not feel compelled to take part in food riots, water riots, Occupy riots...
It’s about demonstrating to those who would be picked off by the Marxists that they don’t HAVE to have their souls harvested by the soulless...
I think that’s a worthy cause. The United States of America was never founded to compel charity through government force. This event happened in time to avert that, I believe.
Nope... it was clean as a whistle. The stadium workers had very little to do after Saturday night’s event.
The 11 trucks went to 11 different cities where it’s against the city code to give food directly to the hungry. One friend (Terri) had her truck out from the Southeast... I think she took her load to Atlanta.
Isn’t it amazing what the gubmint bureaucracy does or doesn’t do?
It’s illegal to give food to starving people?
It’s insane. If you look at it from 10,000 feet, it makes sense. Dependence on govt = good. Independence = bad. Makes the choice easy.
Were you at Restoring Love? It was a truly wonderful event. I’m so glad I went. The capacity of the independent American heart and soul is limitless. We’ve already won.
Oh, she’s fine; except for giving Dolly a run for the money!
I just milk her now and the swelling goes down.
The milk is caused by estrogen in the grass.
(Never heard of such a thing before the vet told me, but Google gave me lots of hits about it.)
