License to Live

by Jerry Salcido | January 22nd, 2010 | 8 Comments

About LDSFreemen.com

We believe that God has given to every individual the unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and Happiness (Property) as part of the Plan of Salvation. Any violation of these rights, whether by a single individual or a group of people (i.e. government), is immoral and against the will of God. The only just and proper role of government is to protect these rights from the aggression of others.

The Founding Fathers were inspired men whose efforts secured a society with the greatest enjoyment of liberty in modern times. The political environment of freedom they created allowed for the Church of Jesus Christ to be restored and thrive in the last days. Unfortunately, the principles upon which America was founded are under constant attack by "kingmen" (Alma 51:5) all around us. Many Latter-day Saints, either knowingly or unknowingly, support those who would destroy our Lord's work in the latter days.

We seek to educate others about the truth in hope that many more will "awake to a sense of [our] awful situation" (Ether 8: 24-25).
