| − | '''9/12 Candidates''' is an [[United States|American]] [[Politics of the United States|political]] [[blog]] organization (launched on 23 March, 2009<ref>http://whois.domaintools.com/912candidates.org</ref>) made up of only volunteers, publishing news and opinion from a [[Conservatism|conservative]] point of view. It functions as a discussion forum and group blog for a variety of [[netroots]] activists, whose efforts are primarily directed toward locating and promoting conservative candidates that have committed themselves to a [[morality|morally binding]] contract to represent their constituents and uphold the 9 principles and 12 values<ref>http://912candidates.org/912-values-principles/ </ref> listed below. These candidates represent the political ideology of the more than 661,000<ref>http://the912project.com/</ref> members of the [[9/12 Movement]]. On may May 12, 2009 [[Glenn Beck]] became aware of the organization, wishing it luck, and offering to host debates for candidates.

| − | == The 9/12 Candidate Contract ==
| + | |
| − | A '''9/12 Candidate''' signs a [http://912candidates.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/912contract-signed.pdf "morally binding" contract] that lists a modified version of [[Glenn Beck]]'s principles and values from his 9/12 Project<ref>http://theglennbeck912project.com/</ref>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''9 Principles'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #America Is Good.
| + | |
| − | #I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
| + | |
| − | #I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
| + | |
| − | #The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
| + | |
| − | #If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
| + | |
| − | #I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
| + | |
| − | #I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
| + | |
| − | #It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
| + | |
| − | #The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. <nowiki>*</nowiki>
| + | |
| − | <nowiki>*</nowiki>''For the contract this has been reworded from the representatives perspective to read: “ The government works for the people. The people do not answer to the government, the government answers to the people.“''
