Thanksgiving – The Birth of Private Enterprise

I first learned of these events a few years ago and each year since I share them with others. My kids are not yet old enough to understand their importance, but one day they will. Richard Ebeling here explains the true meaning of that first Thanksgiving dinner: This time of the ...

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.

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.

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).
