This is a brand new thing for me. Just concieved it yesterday (Friday the 13th) while watching a special of Glenn Beck Fox News Show. I felt like he was talking right to me when he said that it was up to the People to get things going. On the way back home from the Meeting place my mother and I went to I began thinking. What can I do? I don't want to do it the same way that everyone else does, I don't want it to be an already up and running group I want it to be fresh and new. So that's what I'm trying to work on.

Here we are about and what I hope to have happen:

1. We need to get together, even if it is just on the internet. To do this I have created a Forum that I am setting up ready for input and discussion. It is called the Young American Movement (though it says Group on the site). Please check it out here and let me hear your voices: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Young_American_Group/index/

2. We must be educated. I propose that those of us who participate in this need to know our stuff. Therefore I'd like to start a sort of "reading club" where we choose a book and read it. There are many books that Mr. Beck has suggested but I would really like to start with either the 5,000 Year Leap or The Real George Washington. Besides the books we MUST read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. How can we protect our values if we don't know where they come from?

3. We hold discussions. We need to talk, until I was about 17 I thought I was the only kid out there who enjoyed politics and had an opinion. I was too shy to speak out, however, because I thought that I would be viewed as some sort of nerd or get in trouble and yelled at. This cannot be how we view ourselves. It is time for the younger people to find their voice, and it will be in a comfortable environment where there is no rudeness, crudeness, or otherwise. I value the opinion of ALL, and I want to have that sentiment be in the Forum as well. No longer can we be afraid because we don't want to be shouted down, it's time to stand up for ourselves.

4. We must be Idea Oriented. If there is something that we see that should be changed we have to be willing to-as a group-talk, consider, learn, and then take actions that are best fitting. Just because we are younger does not mean we don't count.

Let's get together, meet new people, and have a lot of fun okay?
Thank you all!
