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.

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).
