9-12 PROJECT HAYWOOD COUNTY
HAYWOOD COUNTY
NORTH CAROLINA
WHAT IS THE 9/12 PROJECT?
Patriotic Americans across the county have come together in huge numbers to peacefully direct our country back to the principles and values we were founded on. Millions of people have become involved in 9-12 Project groups to work in a non-partisan way to re-establish the representative aspect of our government. “We The People” expect to be represented; not political parties, not special interests and not the self interest of elected officials. The goals of the 9-12 Project Haywood County North Carolina are as follows:
• Impassion the silent majority of Americans who cherish our freedoms and will work to preserve them.
• Work to return government to the principles and values of “the founders” for our children and future generations.
• Qualify, recruit, and elect candidates for office from both parties that are principled and fiscally responsible.
• Monitor the performance of office holders as they represent their constituents and not their party leadership, special interests or their own self interest.
• Communicate with office holders at all levels the opinions of the people who elected them regarding pending issues.
• Re-establish honesty and accountability in our law makers by informing “we the people” of what our representatives are doing vs. what they are saying.
• Educate citizens about The Constitution and the role of government, as provided for it, in that foundation of our country.
• Help build a peaceful movement strong enough to impact the next election.
• Restore our society to a rule of law rather than a rule of exception and accommodation. Do the crime --- do the time.
• Proceed in our efforts in such a way as to express gratitude for the philosophies and actions of the founding fathers.
