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!

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
