There are many ways we can give back to society and the true measure of charity is that it begins at home, it does not come from Government.
Shortly after the last spate of tornadoes, Glenn Beck’s organization, Mercury One, launched MercuryOne.org. This is a non-profit which sends 100% of the donations received (less the merchant credit card/debit card fees) to local churches and groups for relief and rebuilding our friends and family the way that god and nature intends us to.
The ability of individuals to come together in times of need is boundless. Our ability to willingly help others assures that those who truly need help receive it. It also assures that those who would use tragedy as a way to deceive their neighbors, do not.
Please consider MercuryOne.org, as you budget for charitable giving for the month, quarter or year. It is very important that we give to trusted local charities, but we also need to give to larger charities for needed help that goes beyond the local charities ability to deliver it.

THE MISSION OF MERCURY ONE
Our Mission:
“To inspire, organize and mobilize individuals to improve the human condition physically, emotionally and spiritually with malice towards none and charity for all.”
The time was October of 1958, and a post war and recovering America had just founded NASA. Within the first week of its inception NASA announced the name of their first mission: Project Mercury. Two and a half years later Mercury would, with spirit and perseverance, enlist over two million Americans, from engineers to seamstresses, to achieve something unlike the world had ever seen. Man would orbit the earth and beyond. America had joined together in the spirit of creativity, ingenuity and skill. With the world watching, we as a nation reached beyond greatness and launched into exceptionalism.
Today NASA, once a foundation of character and honor, has been reduced to nothing more than a public relations firm. Our country is now set on an uncharted course. America’s freedoms, opportunities and Judeo-Christian foundation are being disassembled at a lightning speed.
Mercury One, named for a time when America showed its ability to be the exception.
Although we face many trials, Mercury One knows that we Americans are still great. That now is our window of opportunity to rise above and rebound. We must not occupy but organize; not revolt but rebuild. This is our unique moment in time, a calling for the "silent majority" to rise up and stand. Stand for country, Israel, faith, for first responders and for our military. It is today that we will begin to reassemble, one person, one family, one community at a time.
