Vote for Principles Over Party, Politics and Pocketbook

brian@latterdayconservative.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 03:00:00 +0100

With the 2008 election not too far away I felt inspired to create a video regarding upholding principles over political parties. I have also gathered quotes from LDS prophets and other leaders on the subject:

Now, I am not caring today, for myself, anything at all about a political party tag. So far as I am concerned, I want to know what the man stands for ...When I find [...]

How Can We Save the Constitution?

Those of us who have already awakened to a sense of our awful situation typically feel a similar urge to be actively involved in doing something about it. It's not enough just to learn about the principles of freedom and the US Constitution and recognize that we have strayed far from those principles. This fight for freedom is not a [...]

The Book of Mormon Has a Dim View of Taxation

Another interesting article on LewRockwell.com, regarding Mormons, this week. The website titles this one "Open Letter to Mormons Regarding Ron Paul, Part II: The Book of Mormon Has a Dim View of Taxation." This article was written by Chris Reeve, LDS libertarian. I am going to post the entire text [...]

Will Mormons choose Mitt Romney or Ron Paul ?

brian@latterdayconservative.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:00:00 +0100

The GOP straw poll earlier this year revealed that the top two candidates for President in 2008 are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. One could easily assume that the huge support for Mitt Romney in Utah is due simpy to the fact that he is LDS, but what about Ron Paul? Ron Paul is attracting many, not because of his religion but because of his philosoph [...]

Colorado Shooting and the 2nd Amendment

brian@latterdayconservative.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:00:00 +0100

It seems that shooting rampages are becoming all too common these days. Fortunately in some of these situations many lives were saved because of brave gun carriers. In a recent Colorado shooting at the New Life Church, a security guard Jeanne Assam was able to kill the shooter, preventing further loss of life.

Events such as this make me thankful that the Founding Fathers included an amendment in the US Constitution to preserve our god-given right to defend ourselves with gu [...]

CNN/YouTube Ron Paul ad submission by local Utah Constitutionalist LDS member.

CNN issued a challenge to grassroots Ron Paul supporters asking them to submit a 30-second commercial to be aired during the Republican Debate on Wednesday 11/28/07. Our own LDS Conservative, Mike, created a powerful commercial using part of the speech from Ron Paul's visit to Utah earlier this year (Mike also did the production on the recent Joel Skousen / Jack Monnett DVD). This submission didn't air on the CNN/Youtube debate, though the Ron Paul campaign did highlight it on the [...]

Open Letter to Mormons Regarding Ron Paul

brian@latterdayconservative.com — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:00:00 +0100

Today I came across a great letter on LewRockwell.com. The letter was written by Robert Higgins, a Republican from Utah, regarding the 2008 Presidential Race:

To my fellow Latter-day Saint brothers and sisters, this letter is a pleading with each of you to consider supporting Congressman Ron Paul in his candidacy for President of [...]
