When a nation cannot control its economy it has no sovereignty because of global free trade policies run by international banking cartels. This was the whole point of Hamilton banking. We need Glass Steagall to separate investment and commercial banking as well as a fixed exchange rate. We have no medical freedom either.

One of the most important ways we can strengthen our nation is to get involved in the schools. In the midst of false ideas our children are being indoctrinated with in our schools, a friend of mine is running for a place on the school board. As members of the church our influence MUST be felt.

What is your role in the future of USA, and your answer is to be the cheer squad. Had the insurection succeeded in January, America would no longer be a democracy, and most of the readers here voted for trump knowing he would not accept the result unless he won.Do you accept responsibility? I would think part of your role would be to acknowledge that was wrong and make sure that never happens again.

Thank you, Sister Linford, for this stirring reminder of what the 4th of July celebrates. I read it with tears in my eyes. Perhaps we have to spend some time in other countries to really appreciate what it means to live underneath the Stars and Stripes. I'm from Georgia, and some of my ancestors fought against the Union at places like Gettysburg and Bull Run. They believed (rightly or wrongly) that they were fighting for the states' rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Thankfully the Union was preserved, and America has flourished. Some of Lincoln's words at Gettysburg still challenge us to determine if "that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." We know that these latter days are "perilous times" and that there is much we must endure before the Savior returns. Hopefully we can stand for righteousness until He comes. God bless the USA!

According to the Book of Mormon, time and time again through it's pages, secret combinations in their greatest power and degree fight to destroy liberty. In this country the secret combinations are hitting the Constitution and the people at every level. They change the minds of the people over generations. Ultimately the only cure is and has been the preaching and adherence of Jesus Christ's principles. They are not received well in this Country even among "Christians". Only those principles will protect the liberty of the people.

This is a wonderful article. I totally agree with your sentiments. I love our nation..... warts and all! I’m so grateful that we , through revelation, know the final chapter for our nation. Much darkness will come, but then the glorious light of the millennial day! God bless America!
