I recall the night before the First Gulf War, when we saw on TV, Saddam Hussein being broadcast with a small American boy.
As he placed his hand on the child's sholder, you could see the boy shivering in terror.
I looked over at my mother and my aunts who were there that night and their faces were like images carved out of stone.
And I knew that this Nation was going to War.
When, after the attack on Pearl Harbor Isoroku Yamamoto said, ""I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve"
He was speaking of a pygmy compared to the righteous rage that you waken when you convince the mothers and grandmothers of this country that you threaten their children.
Folks recent events and Politics as Usual have wakened that rage.
And this Nation is going to War.
I present to you a website that I do not qualify to join, but I reccomend.
A Network of principled mothers, grandmothers, daughters, & guardians of our nation's children dedicated to the 9 Principles & 12 Values
9 12 Project
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.
To these we add this one:
Children are a gift from God and a sacred responsibility
