HOME: Jennifer Naskov spoke about how homeschooling relates to the 912 movement - and why we believe it is the best thing for our children, and for our country. http://www.yout ube.com/watch?v=KS6FM81MBgU

LOCAL: Mr. Henry Edwards gave a very encouraging talk about how his victory over the tax assessor's office is actually a victory for all property owners in Rutherford County. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csID5Lt8hsI

STATE: Zoran Naskov spoke briefly about the budget talks that change daily in Raleigh. He also gave information about a budget created by the John Locke Foundation that is good for NC and doesn't raise taxes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcFCpXfFfOo
http://www.johnlocke.org/spotlights/display_story.html?id=225

NATIONAL: Maureen Seibler spoke about a little-known but very important topic - the Parental Rights Ammendment. www.parentalrights.org This topic is important, not only to parents, but to all Americans, as our rights are under daily attack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4CimpXKPWo

The 912 group was challenged to take some proactive steps toward changing/bettering our local government through taking petitions out to be signed regarding a more cost effective animal shelter than the CPC. You will find a Daniel Road Project Facts Sheet and a Petition at the following links:
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/275026/R912/DRCFactSheet.pdf
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/275026/R912/DanielRoadPetition.pdf
Even if you were not at the meeting, you can participate in this endeavor. Just print out a petition and take it to friends, neighbors and people that you meet... We will be collecting signatures during the months of August/September to present before the Commissioners at the October meeting. This is a positive action plan for reducing debt in our county. Please email me if you have questions.

912ers Making a Difference!

2009-06-05T10:34:00.002-04:00

Here's a picture sent to me by one of our Rutherford 912ers - Jim - who was able to speak with "Joe the Plumber" at the Take Back Our State Tea Party in Raleigh.

I know of at least 6 of our 912ers that made the looooong trip to Raleigh on June 3rd. (one of them even brought me back a tshirt!!!)

Keep up the GREAT work!
Set brushfires of freedom all across this great state!

Meeting Notes

Time: 7-8:30 PM
Place: Greenhill Community Center
# in Attendance: approximately 85

We had a great 2nd meeting of the Rutherford 912 Group! Here is a quick recap -

HOME: Mike Snelgrove, Pastor of Cornerstone Fellowship Church, spent the first 3 minutes of his presentation by making me very uncomfortable that I had invited him. (I was actually running over the most polite, but straight-forward way to apologize to the group, while he was speaking)

He then, went on to say that all of the things he told us in the first 3 minutes of his presentation were untrue. PHEW!!!

Mike spoke about absolute truth and our need to seek truth in what we read and hear. Great presentation - and very TRUE!!

LOCAL: David Reno, a long-time Rutherford County resident, spoke about the Daniel Road Project. He updated the group on the amount of OUR money that has been spent (and will be spent) to fund a Community Pet Center, Equestrian Center, Farmer's Market, and Soccer Fields.

He encouraged the group to seek out fiscally conservative candidates to run for County Commissioner seats, which will be up for reelection in 2010.

STATE: Bruce Tipton is a writer and local tomato farmer, who lived in Mexico for many years (and who wrote the authorized biography of Vincente Fox). Bruce gave a heart-felt presentation about the need for us, as citizens, to stand up for the ones that are unable to do so for themselves - the thousands of babies aborted each year.

He challenged us to vote for candidates that are Pro-Life and to join the fight to end abortion.

We also made available handouts that show the abortion laws, state-by-state. A copy of that information can be found at: http://www.guttmacher.org/statecenter/spibs/spib_OAL.pdf

NATIONAL: Tom Caroll spoke on illegal immigration. He encouraged the group to check out www.numbersusa.com a website dedicated to ending illegal immigration in America.

(The website is a great resource - however, be aware that they also promote an end to LEGAL immigration - an issue that the 912 group and Mr. Caroll disagrees with them on)

The book recommendation for this meeting was The 5000 Year Leap.

Don't forget that Monday night, June 1st, is the next County Commissioners Meeting. Hope to see you there - 6 PM - Annex Building on Main Street.

Date: May 1st
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: Greenhill Community Center
# in Attendance: approx 130

With about 130 people in attendance, the first official Rutherford 912 meeting was a great success! The primary objective of these meetings is to share ideas and discuss action steps. Therefore, we had specific BreakOut Times, for people to talk amongst themselves and encourage one another. We also started a 912 Library, so that we can read books related to topics covered. There were presentations (based on the 9 Principles and 12 Values) on the following 4 Areas:

HOME: Wolf Seibler spoke about the "M&Ms" of passing our values on to our children and grandchildren: Mentoring and Modeling.

He even handed out free M&Ms, ensuring that he would be invited to speak at future meetings! :o)

LOCAL: Aaron Hutchinson spoke on Principle #9. He challenged the people of Rutherford County (natives and new residents) to come together, uniting on common issues and become involved in our local government - specifically the monthly County Commissioner Meetings.

The upcoming Commission Meeting is this Monday, May 4th, 6:00 PM, at the Rutherford County Annex on Main Street.

STATE: George and Jamie Padgett gave a heartfelt presentation on the importance of protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. They encouraged us to become familiar with 2nd Amendment websites and upcoming legislation that pertains to gun rights. Debbie Clary, our NC State Senator, also spoke on upcoming bills/laws in the NC General Assembly (including the Bully Bill, and the Water Bill)

NATIONAL: Zoran Naskov gave a brief history of the IRS, and the Income Tax System in America. He then explained the benefit of a consumption (sales) tax, as preferred by the Founding Fathers. He challenged us to become familiar with the Fair Tax Movement and how it would positively affect our lives.

Our next meeting will be held:
Friday, May 29th
7:00 PM
Greenhill Community Center
