"Freedom's Price" represents my hope that we will return to God for help. Our founding fathers openly acknowledged and requested God’s help that birthed America as a free nation.

Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass."

George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, June 29, 1788
