A Heritage of Liberty & Thanksgiving
Have you ever considered that as Americans we have an eloquent heritage of thanksgiving? If not, then consider these eloquent quotations from some of our notable leaders and founding documents over the centuries.
Liberty and freedom are words that even adults often have difficulty defining. Any definition is likely going to be yet another abstraction of these abstract words.

Our hope is in the Lord and not in any particular government, political party, or elected
official. Nevertheless, by God’s grace, let us as His people, commit ourselves to making a

being good stewards of our privileges, as we “render to Caesar.
Children are a gift from God, the heritage of the Lord. They are not trophies, toys, inconveniences, or burdens. They are humans who bear God’s image and who depend on parents
for love, care, instruction, and protection. Parents, grandparents and other adults must be
actively engaged because the war on children is real. If we don’t do battle for their hearts,
minds, and bodies, who will?
Our mission is to advance Judeo-Christian principles and values in Wisconsin by strengthening, preserving, and promoting marriage, family, life and liberty.
