I love School House Rock. I recently found one that shows what is happening with our national debt. At some point, just paying interest on the debt will be taking a very big chuck of our budget.
Hugh Hewitt also has a post on the forecast of the budget for the next ten years. The graphic shows how much we will be adding to the debt.
I found out about the 9-12 project from my wife and Glen Beck. He created "We Surround Them", a photo mosaic from pictures of people who agree with at least 7 of the 9 principles.
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.

I saw The Price Of Freedom last Friday. It inspires gratitude in me for those who are willing to risk their blood to refresh the tree of liberty. (See Thomas Jefferson quote)
Over a decade ago I cut my political teeth listening to Rush Limbaugh. I don't particularly like his arrogant schtick. My most listened to commentator, Hugh Hewitt clued me in to Rush's recent speech at CPAC. Here is the video. Here is the transcript.
