COVER STORY

America in Action: This Is Who We Are

Many on the Right have been pushing to get the government out of the charity business—but until we step up, the government won’t step back. These powerful stories and ideas should inspire a nation to put our beliefs into practice:

• Where Every Kid Is a Perfect Fit

  The House, Inc., is changing the lives of students through service, outreach, mentoring and training—and creating just the leaders we need for tomorrow.

• Small-Town Values, Big-Time Impact

  One inspiring community in rural Washington state showed how the church and the government can work together—and they’re setting a standard for the rest of America on how people can care for each other.

• Launched to Change Lives

  Glenn Beck’s new charitable operation, Mercury One, is already making an impact and inspiring the next generation of volunteers.

• 9/12ers: All About Being a Community

  Across the nation, 9/12 Project members are choosing to step up and help rather than waiting for the government to do it.

• Virtual Love & Hate

  The Internet has become a powerful force for freedom, capitalism and liberty. It’s also become a cesspool of hate in too many areas. There’s only one answer for the viciousness that’s out there.

• Still the Most Giving, Most Exceptional

  Despite a sputtering economy and tough circumstances, Americans are still finding ways to take care of others with their money, labor and time.

• A Radical’s Defiant Right Turn

  Meet Brandon Darby, a former leftist who not only learned that liberalism and government don’t truly help those in need and conservatism and individuals can—but also is doing something about it.

• A Cup of Cold Water

  Conservative and religious non-profit groups have found better ways to combat poverty than the enslaving system of the government.

• Healing the Unborn

  Many courageous families are looking to breakthrough fetal surgeries for their children with spina bifida.
