9/11/16 USA Remains Strong and Free

September 11, 2001 The Day America Was Attacked

Never Forget 9/11/01 when the twin towers were attacked in New York City by two hijacked airplanes. In 2001, it was almost impossible for the average honorable citizen to conceive of deliberately taking innocent lives by hijacking airplanes or any other way. As Christians, we had been taught to respect life. On this same day our Pentagon was attacked in Washington, DC. A thrid plane was also hijacked, but "We The People" on the plane took charge and caused the plane to crash in a field in Pennsylvania before it could be used as a weapon to take out another high population target. Those people are heroes who were willing to sacrifice their own lives to save others.

When the first airplane hit, we thought in horror what a tragic shocking accident. When the second plane hit the second tower within a matter of minutes, we then knew it was not an accident. We did not have to be told by our government that we were under attack. We knew.

Today is a reminder more than ever that each of us must remain an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen working together with fellow citizens to remain as a united country with united goals: freedom, respect, independence and peace. United We Stand - Divided We Fall.

We The People are the eyes, the ears, and the heart of America and we are everywhere. We are there before the government is there. We help each other when the going gets tough. Not because our Government demands it, but because that is the type of people we are: Honorable, fierce, loyal, independent, caring, capable, Christian for the majority of citizens, loving, civilized, hard working and law abiding citizens. We are not perfect but we are striving to be so. We are free, independent people who elect our government officials from among ourselves and we intend to stay that way.

The United States of America is a melting pot. We represent all races and religions and use the best traits of all. There is not one race or religion or nationality that has not been discriminated or abused in our past but that is not the case today. We are striving in the right direction and continue to improve daily.

Everyday is a reminder that if we want to live in a civilized society in freedom, we each must do our part to behave as honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens. Integrity is doing the right thing even when we are alone no one else knows.

Beware of those who preach and do otherwise whether it be a leader, cult or religion. Each and every person is entitled to be treated with respect and not to be owned or mistreated by another. We are all children of God and deserve to be treated with respect regardless of age, sex, health, wealth, education, religious or political affiliations.

Growing up, I have always heard "Beware of who your enemy is because you must become just like them in order to fight then." Today this is just as true as ever.

Thoughts, prayers for all who lost their lives and to those who gave their lives helping others through the tragedy of 9/11/01.

Thought, prayers and thanks to all those who continue to serve for the good of all our citizens.

Happy Memorial Day!!! 5/30/16

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!! We The People, honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens, honor our Veterans for protecting our freedoms. All Gave Some and Some Gave All. It is up to each of us to make sure they did not fight in vain. Thank you to our Veterans!!! Freedom doesn't just happen.

Remembering 9/11/01

Today is the anniversary of 9/11/01. We were attacked on our own homeland in New York City by Muslim terrorists because they want to own us or kill us.

If we want to remain the greatest country in the world and a beacon to others who want to be free from oppressive governments, dictatorships and unjust religions, We The People must never forget 9/11 and we must always stand united in our belief of freedom for all, respect for all life, respect for the rule of law and the right to own property. We must cherish and protect our Constitution which gives us the right to elect our own government officials and the right to remove them from office. Our Constitution gives us the right to religious freedom of our choice as long as we do not inflict our choices upon others. Our Constitution also gives us the right to protect ourselves as the government cannot always be there at the exact moment we need them.

If We The People want to remain independent people with the right to choose how we to live our own life, we must also accept personal responsibility for our own decisions and actions. Each one of us, if we are an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen, is an important part of the fabric of the United States of America. No person can legally be owned by another person in the United States of America. If we are not independent, we are not free. If we are dependent on our government to exist, we are not free. We do depend on our government to protect us. If they don't, we should remove them from office.

Our goal as citizens of the United States of America is to make life better for all our citizens; to leave the world a better place than we found it. Beware of those who try to divide us and pit us against each other for any reason. September 11, 2001 is a great reminder that our freedom can be taken away if we are not vigilant to protect them. There are people out there who do not want We The People to be free and independent people. Do not be so willing to give up any rights. They are all important. Be very aware and appreciative of what we do have.

United We Stand – In God We Trust.

May those who lost their lives on 9/11/01 and those who sacrificed their lives to help others rest in peace. May we always be thankful for God’s blessings to be able to protect ourselves and our country.

How To Save Yourself

Our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives today in Chattanooga while trying to protect our citizens from terrorism.

Chattanooga, TN Shootout finally has ended after a day of terror. All day long the media reports dramatic happenings of the shootings and lock downs as they unfold. They inadvertently create fear in the name of providing news yet they provide very little helpful information. They could easily be broadcasting helpful information to all of us watching and those involved in the lock downs.

I highly recommend everyone become familiar with Debbie Herbert Gardner and her husband Mike‘s website http://surviveinstitute.com and their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SurviveInstitute

“TO STOP EVIL. Doing NOTHING is not acceptable.” Debbie Herbert Gardner, Courage Coach, Cincinnati, OH

Active Shooter Survival SPECIFICS that I (Debbie Herbert Gardner) wish was clearly stated in the HOMELAND SECURITY training:

CONTROL YOURSELF:

1) Belly BREATHE... this moves AIR to break your "freeze" and stabilize;

2) GRIP something... this circulates BLOOD away from your pounding heart:

3) Visualize LOVED ones... they are your REASON to survive-it's Family Defense-you're going home! (All successful athletes... BREATHE-GRIP-FOCUS... seconds before performance! Same process needed to "calm down" for crime survival!)

DEADLY "FIGHT" SPECIFICS - If you are "lucky" to be close to shooter:

1) GRAB/MOVE gun BARREL - away from your KILL ZONE (head/neck/chest) You'll likely be burned or injured doing this...odds are trigger is pulled.

2) Strike shooter's THROAT - use FLAT hand in "L" position or hit with a gripped object like your cell phone, water bottle.

Literally...WINNER is the one who is BREATHING in the end! "Heroes are NEVER embarrassed by their scars!" Nice people can do this! So can their mature kids! Or at least we all can commit to: DIE TRYING... TO STOP EVIL. Doing NOTHING is not acceptable!

Helpful information for office workers as well as those in schools.

2.5” to 3” of books or paper files will stop a bullet.

As much as the government would like to be there to protect us, they cannot be there immediately. We must learn to protect ourselves!

“TO STOP EVIL. Doing NOTHING is not acceptable.” Debbie Herbert Gardner, Courage Coach, Cincinnati, OH

Note by Jan Polk:

In addition to the above, we also have the Second Amendment which gives us the right to own guns to protect ourselves, our families and our property from thugs, thieves, terrorists and even our own government if necessary. To remain independent and free people in the land of the free and home of the brave, we each must be willing to do our part in learning to protect ourselves, respecting life and the rule of law. It is not the laws and the government that protect us, it Is each of us being honorable, civilized law abiding citizens who respect life, self, each other, our laws and our faith in Jesus Christ.

We The People – United We Stand - In God We Trust

Do not fail your children by not teaching them social skills and how to protect themselves.

Happy 4th of July - Independence Day in the U.S.A 2015

Some think war is what makes us a free country. We are not a warring country that goes out to conquer for lands and riches; however, we will defend our right to remain free citizens and will do whatever it takes to protect those rights. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation with open arms for all religions that embody the rights of all people to live in peace and harmony. In God We Trust…..from the very beginning.

Our Good Manners and our Respect for life, liberty, and the rule of law is what allows all of us to remain free independent citizens. It is the Good Manners of civilized citizens that allow all people to get along even if we don’t particularly like each other. We all have the same rights to be free, independent people and to be treated with respect by fellow citizens.

Our Constitution is the law of the land and makes us the greatest nation on Earth. Beware of Government Officials who chose to only enforce the parts of the Constitution that they like and disregard the parts they don’t like. They have taken an oath to protect our Constitution. When they do not keep their word, they are not good leaders and set bad examples for our children. Your word matters and Good Character matters.

The right to own property is what allows each individual to excel according to his ability and desire to work. Without the ability to buy and sell property and services (capitalism), people have no way to earn income or provide for themselves or their families; they would then become dependent on the Government…socialism. Free people like to make their own decisions and reap the rewards (good or bad) that come with those decisions. Don’t be so willing to give up your freedoms in exchange for free gifts from the government. Have you heard about the frog that started out in a pot of cold water? (They gradually turned the heat up until it became boiling water and then it was too late.) Vote for Government policies that will help you become independent and self-sufficient.

Our Constitution gives us the right to protect our own life, family and property. Beware of those who want to take our guns away from us. In addition to the greatest police departments and military on the planet, we also have armed citizens to back them up. We are free, independent citizens because our government is elected by We The People and we can also remove them from office. We are free citizens because we are willing to take responsibility for our own lives. We can survive without government officials but the government cannot survive without us. When We The People become dependent on the Government and have no say in who the government officials are, we will no longer be free and independent citizens.

The people who can testify to this are immigrants from oppressive governments and the people who are currently dependent on our own government. It is not a good life when you have no control over what happens to you and you are at the mercy of the Government.

Teach your children that the 4th of July means more than parades, hot dogs and fireworks. Teach them respect and to have gratitude for those who have given their lives in the past and for those who are serving today so that we may remain free and independent citizens. Teach them respect for life…their own and their fellow citizens. Teach them to respect the flag of the United States which represents freedom from oppression by corrupt government and the right to be a free, independent self-sufficient citizen. Do not fail your children by not teaching then the rules of civilized behavior and respect for life. Teach them that good citizens come in all sizes, shapes, colors, all ages, health, wealth, education, religious or political affiliations. United We Stand – Divided We Fall

Happy 4th of July – Independence Day!!!

May God continue to Bless America

Happy July 4th - Independence Day!!!

Happy July 4th to everyone. -- Be Happy, Be Safe, Be Kind.

We celebrate this holiday every year as a reminder of our independence and freedom from government.... not our dependence on government.

Since 1776, our Christian nation has been a beacon to the world. Our Declaration of Independence guarantees each of us:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form..... continues on The National Archives website: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html

Freedom is not free. We remember in prayer those who gave their lives to keep our nation free and those who are serving now. Thank you.

Our system works because it is based on our citizens being independent, honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens with the right to own property. When our laws are no longer honored or followed, when our Constitution is no longer followed to the letter, when our citizens no longer value honor, respect and freedom for all, there will be no place else in the world to run to where everyone is considered free from government dictates or dictator rule.

We are guaranteed the right to the "pursuit" of happiness...not just "happiness." We must participate and contribute to our own well being and to our free society .....not just be takers.

We are all immigrants somewhere along the line. Be very careful of what freedoms you are willing to give up or to destroy as it will be very hard to get them back. We need honorable leaders that make all of our citizens feel united.

We are not a perfect nation, but we are striving to become better each year. Our bad laws have been and can be changed. People of honor will do the right thing regardless of the law.

May God continue to Bless America!
