The 912 Project by Glenn Beck : 9 Principles and 12 Values : Celebrates 1st Birthday

Posted on 12 March 2010 by Geoff Anderson

The 912 Project by Glenn Beck : 9 Principles and 12 Values : Celebrates 1st Birthday. On March 13, 2009, a political manifesto was founded named the 9/12 project or the 912 project by talk show personality Glenn Beck to bring all Americans united and to protect their values as the greatest nation of all nations. The 9/12 Project (or 912 Project) is a political manifesto and political activist group created by American television and radio personality Glenn Beck. It was first introduced on the March 13, 2009 episode of Glenn Beck, the eponymous talk show on Fox News Channel. A website was launched to promote the group, the 912Project.com, and several local 912 groups formed soon after in cities throughout the United States.



According to Beck, the purpose of the project is “to bring us all back to the place we were on Sept. 12, 2001 … we were not obsessed with red states, blue states or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created.” 912 represents to the date following the September 11th Attacks as well as 9 Principles and 12 Values that Beck believes represent the principles and values shared by the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Glenn Lee Beck is an American radio and television host, author, conservative political commentator, and entrepreneur. He is the host of The Glenn Beck Program, a nationally-syndicated talk-radio show that airs throughout the United States on Premiere Radio Networks.

Posted on 19 January 2010 by dailybuzzonline


Massachusetts Senate Race Results and 2010 Boston Globe Exit Polls : The seat was vacated with the untimely death of Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy.

Feingold, who was first elected to the Senate in 1992 didn’t want to comment on either of his potential Republican opponents, Watertown business owner Dave Westlake, and Madison real estate developer Terrence Wall.

The election has generated interest across the nation as everyone wants to know what is going to happen in Massachusetts that was till now represented by a Democrat heavyweight.

Schultz asked Sekoff why Independent voters seem to be supporting Brown. Sekoff said that he thinks it’s because President Obama hasn’t stood strongly enough against Wall Street, and that populist anger has turned on Democrats, who are now viewed by some as the status quo.

2010 Scott Brown Exit Polls on Boston Globe

Posted on 19 January 2010 by Geoff Anderson


2010 Scott Brown Exit Polls on Boston Globe: Those seeking exit polls for the 2010 Massachusetts Senate Race will be disappointed to know there aren’t any.

Allen adds that just days ago the Boston Sunday Globe carried the headline, “Senate poll: Coakley up 15 points.” Since the election wasn’t expected to be close not long ago, some apparently thought the exit poll process wouldn’t be needed.

According to the Boston Globe: “Democrat Martha Coakley, buoyed by her durable statewide popularity, enjoys a solid, 15-percentage-point lead over Republican rivalScott Brown as the race for US Senate enters the homestretch, according to a new Boston Globe poll of likely voters.”

Massachusetts Senatorial Race 2010 Update: Brown Vs Coakley

Posted on 19 January 2010 by Grace Vertulfo

Massachusetts Senatorial Race 2010 Update: Brown Vs Coakley

Massachusetts Senatorial Race 2010 Update: Brown Vs Coakley. Voters turned out in high numbers for today’s US Senate election. Above, Democratic candidate Martha Coakley and Republican hopeful Scott Brown voted this morning.

Polls show these two candidates are effectively tied. Moreover, Brown has been an outspoken critic of health-care reform, and if he wins, it could significantly affect Democrats’ plans. A Republican win would mean that Democrats would lose the 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority and, quite possibly, the chance of passing health-care reform legislation.

With a steady sleet falling, Republicans were relishing the possibility of an upset by the previously unknown state senator, Scott Brown, 50, over Democrat Martha Coakley, 56, considered a shoe-in up until a few days ago.

2010 Massachusetts Senate Race Updates between Brown and Coakley: January 19 7:10pm

Posted on 19 January 2010 by Janry De Leon

2010 Massachusetts Senate Race Updates between Brown and Coakley: In the case of today’s special election in Massachusetts, Cramer said if the Republicans win, the markets are headed decidedly higher.

The race to fill the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat has become hotly contested in recent weeks, even though the Democratic candidate, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, enjoyed double digit polling leads up until the middle of December. Republican candidate Scott Brown has called the race a referendum on health care reform and has promised to be the 41st vote to block cloture on the landmark legislation if he’s voted into office.

Cramer explained that a Republican win in Massachusetts means the Democratic majority in the Senate would be broken, stopping cold many of President Obama’s anti-business agenda items such as health care reform, cap and trade, and union reforms. “A Republican win takes Washington out of the stock market equation,” he said.
