Quotes of the Day

"In the many battles we face, and in a culture where our values seem to be slipping away, it is often difficult to find joy and thankfulness, yet we are incredibly blessed in so many ways. Simply being alive, having the opportunity to serve our God, to live in a land that is free – still – and having family and friends to love are just some of the things we too often take for granted."

Victoria Cobb, President, The Family Foundation of Virginia

"For even in our most challenging and uncertain times, America remains the strongest and wealthiest nation on earth, where even our poorest of the poor have a better quality of life than 90% of people in all other nations combined. So it is good for us all to take time to pause, reflect, and give thanks."

Brigitte Gabriel, President and CEO, ACT for America

"The conservative cause shows great promise, and for this we should be thankful."

Amanda Reinecker, MyHeritage.org-- a website for members and supporters of The Heritage Foundation and Nathaniel Ward, the Editor of MyHeritage.org.

I'm thankful to God for His great grace in America, for our foundations, for our rich history, for the fact that there are still wonderful soldiers fighting on in difficult arenas.

"...But, I'm thankful, too, for people fighting in smaller arenas - like the arenas of their homes - for the glory and honor of God with their children and marriages - staying in and under the Scripture in their faithfulness to Him and staying true to Him in the manner in which they conduct their lives including their financial decisions, their bodies, their tongues, their thought life."

Bill Johnson, President

American Decency Association

"I would like to wish you each a happy Thanksgiving and ask that in this difficult time that we are all in that you do take a moment and thank God for the blessings we do have."

Darla Dawald, National Director, Patriotic Resistance "Thanksgiving is a wonderful American day. We think mostly of our families and the joys of getting closer with our families. Thanksgiving is also a day to be thankful for our unique country and its history of generosity and freedom. As we face the challenges ahead, let us draw strength from this day, from our country and from each other. Happy Thanksgiving!" Jim Gilmore and the Patriots Committee "THANK YOU SO MUCH for standing shoulder to shoulder with us in this battle against forced unionism tyranny." Mark Mix, President National Right to Work Committee "I hope that this week as you think of the things you and your family are thankful for, you will think about the current health care debate and the fact that we have not yet lost to the forces of big government. That you will think too about the success of the tea party movement and how the new film "TEA PARTY" can further spotlight its effectiveness." Matt Kibbe, President and CEO, FreedomWorks "On this day of Thanksgiving, we remember that man does not live by bread alone. Certainly, the best of our country's leaders understood this. That is doubtless why, when Washington took the first Oath as President, in the presence of God and a cloud of witnesses, he kissed the Bible. Of all things for which we give thanks this day, we are most grateful for the Lord God and His Word." Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council "But, let us think about the REAL meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday, not just the things that the world has tried to use to get our eyes off of that meaning."
