NOTICE CONCERNING PRIVACY POLICY

Kitsap We The People (KWTP) has received multiple requests (or more recently, demands) by outside individuals and entities wishing to obtain a list or specific names of individuals, including contact information, of our members for various reasons. To be very clear to both members and outside entities, Kitsap We The People does not and will never sell or share member information with any third party business or organization for any purpose. When you sign up on this website you will only receive emails containing information related to this group and our local community. Your free membership is voluntary and you have the freedom to unsubscribe at any time; when you do so your name and information are permanently removed.

Kitsap We The People is and will remain a non-partisan group for like-minded individuals in the Kitsap/Mason area who are already involved or wish to engage themselves in the process. We do not discourage individuals from joining multiple groups; the point it is to educate yourself, educate others, share information and take action as meets your own personal goals.

If you believe that everything is going to or even can be fixed by applying full weight on the 2012 elections, this is probably not the group for you. The problems that exist on national and international levels are not so simple that the change of a few federal office holders will stop what is already started. That is not to say that you shouldn't know or understand what it happening on those levels - it is important that you do - however, the most difference can by made at state and local levels.
"THINK GLOBAL - ACT LOCAL"

PRIVACY POLICY

Kitsap We The People 9/12 is committed to protecting the privacy and accuracy of your personally identifiable information to the extent possible.


Information Collection and Use

In order to keep you informed of such activities as group programs, symposia and/or special events, the Coordinator may use personal information collected from the Kitsap We The People Web sites for the purpose of future communications. Such email notification will be conducted in conformance with anti-spam laws.


Disclosure of Collected Information

Kitsap We The People will not disclose or share any of your information without your consent. Your personally identifiable information will not be distributed or sold to any third-party organizations, ever. (They have tried and we have not shared that info and never will.)

Updating Personal Information Questions regarding your options to review, modify or delete previously provided personal information should be done through the Contact Form for recording.


Policy Changes

Any revisions or updates to this privacy policy will be posted under the "KWTP Category" (as seen on the right) at this URL.


Links to Other Sites

You may encounter links to other Web sites of organizations not directly affiliated with Kitsap We The People. Please be aware that Kitsap We The People is not responsible for the information practices of external organizations. We recommend you review the privacy statements of each external Web site that collects personal information before giving them your personal information.

No link to ANY external site should be considered in any way an endorsement or any other form of support.

Additionally, in this technological age, information and site links are subject to change. If you encounter an inactive or incorrect link on this site, please report it.

Privacy (SEE FULL PRIVACY POLICY FOR MORE INFORMATION):

We will not share your information with anyone - whether they be a third party or another member of the group - without your permission. The KWTP Newsletter and Member lists will not be shared. You may submit your research for the website and ask that it be anonymous... in fact, unless you ask that we credit you, we will not attach a name to the information or report. However, if you give your personal information to people who are not on the Board, we cannot be held accountable for who they may share your information with. (Value: Personal Accountability)


Getting Involved:

There are always ways to get involved and it is never too late to do it. We cannot educate others without people who share information on common topics or issues. KWTP relies on local patriots who are willing to do research, write reports, share their opinions, submit relevant articles, links and videos for the site and who are willing to participate at events.


Events:

Events depend on the participation of local patriots. Help is always welcome if you have a bit of time to donate.
Official KWTP Events are non-partisan and open to all local patriots. In certain circumstances, RSVP's will be required due to limited space so please pay attention to individual event details.
Non-Group Events (Hosted by third parties) will also be listed from time to time. These can be submitted through the site.
Sometimes they may be events hosted by one of the two major parties if there is going to be information on a relevant topic or an interesting Guest Speaker.
KWTP does not endorse ANY political party and the listing of certain events is not an attempt to push you to joining them. KWTP recognizes that both of the two major parties have serious problems on national, state and local levels. Your personal affiliation with either party does not matter here. Recruiting for any party is not allowed at our events.

Event timing varies.
Unlike some groups, we will not do the monthly dog and pony show. There may be months that we go without group meetings; those will be announced when there is a good reason behind it. This is an Educational Group that encourages you to learn the facts, hear others out and make up your own mind. If you are looking to be entertained or told who to vote for, this is probably not the group for you.


Donations:

We are not a NonProfit Group; however, donations are used solely for the purpose of covering operating costs and materials for the group. Nobody gets paid for their time, we are all volunteers who do what we do for a higher cause. When there is no need for funding, we do not ask for donations.
(Operating costs include meeting venues, events, website costs, promotional and educational materials, etc.)


Group Structure:

Sorry to disappoint those who may be here thinking that we are a top-down Organization... but it isn't.
Hate to burst the bubble of those who think we are getting paid for what we do...but we don't.
Financially backed by rich Conservatives who use us as tools? No.
This is pure grassroots (REALLY Grassroots)
Everything that comes in to our (servant) Organizers from members is taken into consideration and leads to the next steps of our Group.

This is NOT a Republican or Democrat Group.
We are NonPartisan and proud of it.


Kitsap We The People was founded in March 2009 as a We Surround Them Group based on 9 Principles and 12 Values. Individuals need not accept or embrace ALL the principles and values... a simple majority is enough to unite us.

(These should be read as the way that you see things - not necessarily as they are - but as they should be.)
The 9 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 should be 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 should not force me to be charitable to those whom I might not agree with. I should choose and it should be as my pocketbook allows.
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.


(These should be read as things that you may not have down perfectly, yourself, but would like to strive for in the future.)
The 12 Values
Honesty
Reverence
Hope
Thrift
Humility
Charity
Sincerity
Moderation
Hard Work
Courage
Personal Responsibility
Gratitude

(If you agree with MOST of these Principles and Values, you are not alone.)


Because we are not a "Party" and remain a private group, our organization is fluid and is able to adjust to meet the needs of its members and goals as time goes on.

Kitsap We The People (KWTP) is a true grassroots organization dedicated to inform, encourage, equip and mobilize at the grassroots level to reclaim control of our government, local, state and federal.

We propose to take back this control by peaceful means. We DO NOT believe in the use of force, coercion, or bullying, but rather correcting the problems through education, local action, votes, and encouraging individuals to get out and support of political candidates of their choice while also asking those individuals to look at the big picture and putting principles over parties. We recommend that voters look for candidates who have the intelligence, integrity, honesty and drive to represent us and our values.

We believe that we are in danger of losing a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and that the current government has become too large and too expensive. It has become a bureaucracy that has overstepped its bounds. We feel that as Americans we are loosing the freedom of personal choice and self-governance when it comes to our lives, our liberty and the pursuit of happiness as guaranteed by our Declaration of Independence and Constitution as originally constructed.

We believe the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Bill of Rights are fundamental documents designed to guide us and our posterity.

Kitsap We The People is an independent part of the 9/12 Project which was started as a NonPartisan, Educational, Liberty-Minded Group. "We are not racist, we are not violent - we are just no longer silent" - That is the catch phrase that most liberty-minded groups have now adopted. Though the mainstream media, some special interest groups and even individual elected officials focus on the worst they can find... they are not acknowledging that every group and every movement have their own radical fringe members that are not an accurate representation of the group as a whole. Kitsap We The People openly rejects racism and other such cruel or inappropriate activities. Those found to be pushing such things (racist signs, hitler mustaches on our electeds, etc.) at any Kitsap We The People Event will be asked to leave. We ask that if you ever see any such occurrence you seek out a Board Member immediately for help.

Kitsap We The People has formed a Board (as of June 2010). Our Board is also volunteer based and due to circumstances that have been taking place in related groups around the state and nationally, our Board was appointed by the original coordinator to include individuals who have been some of the most active participants in KWTP, who have a deep understanding of the 9 Principles and 12 Values, who see the absolute importance of our remaining non-partisan, who do not remain idle and are not afraid to speak up. Board Members are fluid, like everything else and are subject to change as there is need.

Kitsap We The People Members/Patriots are not told what to do. This is true grassroots folks!
We are NOT a top-down structure on a national, state or local level.

How it works? We (the Board) listen to your ideas, suggestions, constructive criticisms, opinions, concerns, research, etc. - we use that information to structure future events, meetings, focuses, sections on the website, etc. In some cases, we may combine several ideas into one event... it is what you ask for.

Because KWTP is strictly run by volunteers, it is also vital that there is participation from our local patriots. If we are to educate each other it has to start right here. Information on this website is submitted by local patriots... not people in another state who are not familiar with the issues we face in our own community. It is up to YOU to speak up though.

What we hope for is an educated and informed public who will do what is right. Principles over Parties!
If you are not using your voice... what are you doing?

KWTP currently has members from Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson and West-Pierce Counties on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula of Washington State.




HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?

The 9/12 Project is based on 9 Principles & 12 Values. It is also a reminder of the day after 9/11.

The day that the twin towers came down - we were in mourning.
The day after the twin towers came down - we were a nation united.

We proved, then, that it is possible to be friends and neighbors without the divide.
We can do it again - but not without effort.

However it is recommended that you try to understand their side, even if you disagree, without harsh reaction.

IF YOU FIND IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH OTHERS TO GET THE TRUTH OUT - TAKE SCREEN SHOTS, RECORD WHAT'S ON YOUR SCREEN... WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO TO DO!

RESEARCHERS HAVE NOTED (PROOF ON YOUTUBE) THAT THE INFORMATION IS CHANGING (ESPECIALLY ON GOVERNMENT OPERATED OR .GOV WEBSITES) OR BEING CLEANSED/REMOVED COMPLETELY. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR SIDE... THE TRUTH... AS FAR AS THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE STILL KNOW, THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY HAS THE "CREDIBILITY" ON THEIR SIDE (FOR SOME STUPID REASON). YOU HAVE TO PROVE AND BACK UP WHAT "YOU" CLAIM TO WAKE PEOPLE UP.

EXAMPLES:
THEY ARE GOING TO START MOVING MORE SOLICITATIONS FROM FBO.GOV TO THEIR "LOGIN REQUIRED" SOLICITATION SITES! WE HAVE A LIMITED TIME ON COLLECTING THE INFORMATION THEY HAVEN'T SCRUBBED YET!

USGS.GOV HAS BEEN CHANGING, HIDING, REMOVING STATE AND INTERNATIONAL EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION AND DETAILS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY RUN MOST OF THEIR MAPS (LOCAL TO GLOBAL) ON A 2 TO 6 HOUR DELAY SO THEY CAN SCRUB SOME THING BEFORE THEY GO PUBLIC.

NASA IS ALSO GUILTY OF "FUDGING" INFORMATION ON THEIR SITE.

(ALL OF THE ABOVE AGENCIES - USGS, NASA, GSA - ARE NOW CONTROLED BY DHS - THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.... PUTTING THE PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER YET?)


IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO OR DO NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER TO MAKE A "SCREEN SHOT" OR CAPTURE:

1. SET THE PAGE SO THE VITAL INFORMATION YOU NEED TO SAVE IS ON THE SCREEN.
2. PRESS THE "PRINT SCREEN" ON YOUR KEYBOARD OR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE HIT THE "F10" KEY.
3. OPEN MICROSOFT "PAINT" ON YOUR COMPUTER (COMES STANDARD UNDER "ACCESSORIES")
4. ONCE OPEN, CLICK ON THE "PAINT" CANVAS THEN ON YOUR KEYBOARD HOLD: CTRL + V
5. THE SCREEN SHOT SHOULD APPEAR ON YOUR CANVAS.
6. SAVE AS AM IMAGE FILE (.PNG OR .JPG) ON YOUR COMPUTER AND SAVE OR SHARE.

Since there is always so much to say and never enough opportunities, we are creating blogs for the KWTP Website.

Let's please keep comments family-friendly and to the point. Contributing information is welcome as are opposing points (in an intellectual fashion), attacks are not. The blogs will be moderated as needed for appropriate content.

Blogs are personal opinions and views; the views and thoughts expressed on this website belong to their author and may not be representative of the views of this group. You do not have to agree to be a member of this group. As always here, we work together wherever possible and AGREE TO DISAGREE (peacefully) on issues where it is not possible. KWTP publishes submitted and approved opinions for your personal consideration without support while encouraging you to find truth and come to your own conclusions.

The truth is not always popular.
