9 Principles
1. America is good. America is the greatest nation on earth because we were founded by Christians on the general principles of Christianity. “America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” – Alexis de Tocqueville. We have a right to insist that we return to our Christian roots, and we have a right to fight against anyone and everyone who tries to block us from doing so. We came here to what was then a wilderness in order to have a place where we could freely worship God and be a people who could spread the Gospel, and we were followed by people intent on stopping us. But America is to be a Shining City on a Hill, a Light to the Nations. The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 that the Gospel will be preached to every ethnic group in the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end would come. We should and must be a part of that! And in order to accomplish that purpose, we must have a strong military and a strong economy.
2. I believe in God. He is the center of my life. I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior when I was eight years old. I knew exactly the commitment I was making – that He is the boss of my life and I am to do, with His help, all that He has commanded. Once a person is saved, he is to do the good works which were prepared for him to do from before the foundations of the world.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. Honesty and truthfulness are among the most important qualities to possess. I am a truth teller, I am known as such, and I can’t stand it when people lie!
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority (under God), not the government. The family is the basic unit of government. We must have strong, healthy families in order to have a strong nation. Vision Forum is doing an excellent job of producing material that will help people build strong, healthy families if we can just get it into their hands. My wife and I have the right to decide what kind of education our son receives. We have the right to refuse to allow him to be given a vaccination, for example, and the government does not have the right to override our decision. We have the right to say that he should receive a Christian education, and to demand vouchers so that we can decide where he goes to school! It is wrong that we have to pay taxes to support these failing, anti-God public schools and then pay again for homeschool materials or to put him in a Christian school.
5. If you break the law, you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. We basically have good laws in our country; we just need for our laws to be enforced! As a state senator, I will aggressively go after lawbreakers, and believe me, as a current state government employee, and as someone who has had run-ins with the county sheriff and our city government, I know who to go after!
6. I have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. I have seen entirely unqualified people hired for jobs and promoted into jobs just because of their race or gender, and it is not right! Barry Goldwater was right as the only U.S. Senator to vote against the liberal Johnson’s “Great Society” “civil rights” programs in the 1960s. “Affirmative Action” needs to be done away with. It has done nothing but give free paychecks to people who don’t do anything, and keep good workers who need jobs from getting them.
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. God wants for individuals, families, and churches to care for the poor, not government! Government does not share the Gospel with people, it just claims to meet their temporal needs, and doesn’t do a good job of that.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. We have a solemn God-given duty to stand up and speak up for what is right, and to vote out all the politicians who do not do what it right! In order to do that, we must also have a media who tells us the truth, and who informs us of all that we need to know!
9. The government works for the people. The people do not answer to the government; the government answers to the people. Government derives its just powers from the people. I have had it with politicians who think they will automatically be re-elected at every election! Many of us have been praying for years for our country to return to the Lord, and it looks like it may finally be happening! We need statesmen, not politicians.
12 Values
1. Honesty. I believe that if a person is a liar, then you can’t trust him in anything else. Telling the truth is one of the most important things to me. You must make sure that whatever you say is true.
2. Reverence. We need to revere, honor, and respect God. We need to revere our sacred institutions: the church, the family, marriage, the home, and our blessed Christian foundations of government.
3. Hope. My hope is in Jesus Christ. I always have hope. My hope is never in government, and it sure isn’t in that Communist Muslim Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. I have the sure hope that I am going to Heaven when I die, and I serve a big God who can do anything He wants. If we will follow the prescription found in 2 Chronicles 7:14, then God will heal our nation.
4. Thrift. An individual, a family, or a government must never spend more money than they have. Out of the money that we earn, we should spend some, save some, give some, and invest some. People in government must always remember that tax money does not belong to them, it belongs to the people. They must never be allowed to spend any of that money on anything that government has not been given the right to do by the Constitution, and they must make taxes as low as possible.
5. Humility. The Bible tells us clearly that pride goes before a fall, and a haughty spirit before destruction. We must remember that we cannot do any good thing apart from God. Some great Christians in history have said that pride was the hardest thing for them to guard against, and that they were never able to fully master it. We must constantly be developing and cultivating a spirit of humility, and remember that confidence, boldness, and courage are virtues, and are not in any way the same thing as pride or arrogance.
6. Charity. The word literally meant love in the early 1600s, but today it is taken to mean giving to the poor and needy. Giving should be voluntary, and to the charity of one’s choice. Government does not have the right to steal our money and give it to someone else. It violates the commandment, “Thou shalt not steal”!
7. Sincerity. I can’t stand a person who is fake or phony. A person should say what he really believes. The people can spot a fake a mile away! Don’t be afraid to say what you really believe!
8. Moderation. All things in moderation. Too much of anything, even a good thing, is not good. There is a time to work, a time to relax and play, a time to spend time with your family, and a time to rest and sleep. There is also a time for Congress to be in session, and a time for them to go home. Our state legislature here in Mississippi meets 90 days a year, and the liberals in it cause enough trouble already. The Congress meets almost constantly, and if we had a President who was doing the right thing, then there would be no excuse for that. Of course, the current Democratic Congress is no help at all. But Congress meets for almost the entire year, they meet late at night, and they meet on weekends – even Sundays, and they are constantly causing trouble! They should meet for only three or four months each year, be limited to meeting, say, from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday, and then be called into special session if the President is performing so badly that he might need to be impeached.
9. Hard Work. We human beings were created to work. Work is not a bad thing! Adam and Eve were commanded to work in the Garden of Eden BEFORE they sinned and sin entered into the world. Work just got harder after they sinned. There is a lot of reason to take pride (the good kind, of course) in a job well done. We must redeem the time, for the days are evil. Each of us only has a certain amount of time on this earth, and we don’t know how much time we have. Those who are able to work but won’t shouldn’t eat. Each of us must contribute to society. We must use our God-given talents, skills, abilities, and gifts to serve God by serving others, and one way of doing that is by producing quality goods and services that others need.
10. Courage. God commanded Joshua to be strong and very courageous. We have the world, the flesh, and the devil against us, and we must also be strong and very courageous if we are going to be pleasing to God. It takes a lot of courage to stand up against the forces of evil that are in this world today, including the Muslims who want to murder us and take over the world, and the Communists who want to take over the world a create a one-world government.
11. Personal Responsibility. Each person must take responsibility for his own actions! This is one of the greatest lessons I have ever learned! There comes a point in every person’s life where he can no longer blame everything on others and must be held responsible for his own actions! There is so much freedom, such a great sense of accomplishment, and such a high level of maturity gained when you take responsibility for yourself!
12. Gratitude. We must cultivate a spirit of gratitude in ourselves, and encourage it in others. We are taught in the Holy Scriptures to be thankful unto God, and commanded to give thanks to God. When Jesus healed the ten lepers and commanded them to go and present themselves to the priest as God required, only one of the ten returned to thank Him. Jesus asked where the other nine were. The clear inference is that all ten should have thanked Him. We should also be careful to thank other people who do good to us.

912Candidates.org is pleased to announce James Broadwater, running for State Senate in Mississippi’s 29th District. The following information has been extracted from Mr. Broadwater’s official website:
James B
roadwater was one and one-half months old in 1963 when he was adopted from the Mississippi Children’s Home Society in Jackson and was moved to Cleveland, Mississippi. His father, who grew up in Florence, Mississippi, worked in a blue-collar job as a mechanic and a machinist for the Mississippi Power and Light Company, which moved him to Cleveland to work at the Delta Steam Electric Station. At age 8 James accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He lived in the same house until he graduated from Cleveland High School. His dad retired from Entergy, which had bought the Mississippi Power and Light Company, in 1990, after working for them for 38 years. James’ mom worked in state service for a number of years, working her way up to manager of the cafeteria at the public elementary school which all her children had attended. James’ parents still live in that same house in Cleveland today.
James went to Yale Street Baptist Church in Cleveland for kindergarten, Parks Elementary School for first through sixth grades, and Margaret Green Junior High School for grades 7 through 9. For high school, James went to Cleveland High School. He played trumpet in the band, and was a member of the law enforcement and science clubs, and was a member of the youth group and the youth choir at church.
After high school James was off to Moorhead, Mississippi to attend Mississippi Delta Junior College. Attending on a full band
scholarship, he served as Student Government Association Second Vice-President, was involved in the Baptist Student Union and went for his first time on a short-term mission trip, and was a member of several clubs. He joined a combat unit in the Mississippi Army National Guard – Company A, 2nd Battalion, 198th Armored Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division in Moorhead, Mississippi – as a combat vehicle crewmember – a gunner in M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, to serve his country and to get
money for college. He went to two weekend drills and went through 14 weeks of Army Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) as One Station Unit Training (OSUT) at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where he was diagnosed with mild asthma and received an honorable, medical discharge. While there, he gave a deposition against a Private Malik from Pakistan for making threats against the United States of America. He later tried twice to re-enter the military, this time as an officer, but the breathing problem prevented him both times. He graduated with an associate’s degree in Accounting. Then he headed down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to attend The University of Southern Mississippi. He was heavily involved in the Baptist Student Union, serving on 12 of the BSU’s 14 committees and as chairman of two of them. He spent three summers as a student summer missionary, and went on four more short-term mission trips, and was also involved with Campus Right to Life, participating in the Rally for Life in Washington, DC in April 1990 and serving as treasurer for one year. He also played intramural sports, including football, softball, and volleyball, was in taekwondo, and started the BSU’s first-ever College Bowl team. As its captain for its first three years, he led the team to get a college second place the first year and a college third place the next year. He also took a course in law nforcement, and earned 9 hours of on-the-job training with the Hattiesburg Police Department. He graduated with a helpful tool for his future endeavors: a bachelor’s degree in History with an emphasis on American History and Military Studies, with a minor in English with an emphasis on grammar and writing. It was while on student summer missions in the ’80s when he went to Washington, D.C., for the first time and when he bought a book titled The Rebirth of America at a yard sale in Southern Maryland that James realized that he wanted to be more involved in public policy, and that the way that he felt called to do it was through elected office.

Goodmorning Everyone
So I feel like I have been kind of quiet lately, but I am still working hard to get the word out about 9/12 candidates and all the amazing work this group is doing. I have been networking a lot lately, speaking at events, and passing out flyers trying to educate people on what we are doing and just rallying up support. I am also pushing to get our contracts signed by Congressman Greg Harper, Candidate Joe Tegerdine, and Lt Governor Phil Bryant, as he is predicted to be our next Governor! I feel very confident in our efforts, and I am noticing that a lot more people are starting to take notice of what we are doing. This is such a great experience and something I know we can all be proud of! So let’s keep up the good fight and get these contracts signed. Thanks for all your support and efforts!

Im not really very good at things like this. I have never really been a people person or the one that steps up and takes the lead. I am not even too sure that I am fully capable or qualified to take on such a big responsibility, but I just felt like this was something I had to do not only for myself and my future children and grandchildren, but for my country and the people in it.
I have become so angry with the way our federal government has been acting lately. I don’t know about you, but these people running the show in Washington D.C. sure aren’t representing me and the things that I want, and I am tired of not being heard! I am tired of being taxed to death when I am barely getting by as it is while the government takes the money I work so hard for to give away to people who don’t want to take personal responsibility for themselves or wasting it on the education of chinese prostitutes-really they did this! I mean what else are they spending our hard earned money on!? It has gotten ridiculous, and I can not just sit back while this out of control government spends away leaving future generations of Americans to pay its debt.
I want a return to smaller government where our representatives actually listen to us. I mean I know we have been quiet for a while guys, but guess what the people in this country are still here, and we still matter! It’s okay to represent us now! We aren’t going anywhere this time. Atleast I’m not, and I hope that everyone who reads this isn’t going anywhere either! Let’s remind our elected officials why they are in Washington D.C. right now! It is because of WE THE PEOPLE! Let’s make them hear us!
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”-Thomas Jefferson

Welcome everyone to our MS 912candidates website. Mississippians, it is time that we too join in the fight and remind our government that they work for us! We will be holding our candidates to a higher standard than those that are currently in Washington D.C. right now, and together, we will put candidates in office who believe in the Constitution, and we will take back our liberties!
We are going to be inviting candidates from Mississippi to sign 912 contracts pledging their oath to uphold the 9 principles and 12 values that all Americans should possess, and I would like to invite you to help us find these 912candidates and bring them on board with our cause. Let’s get started Mississippi!
“To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people is a chimerical idea.” -James Madison
