Rossie: We know exactly why we’re thankful

(Sharon Rossie, NPRI) – On behalf of everyone at the Nevada Policy Research Institute, we want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.

As Nevadans, we have many reasons to show our thanks.

We live in a beautiful state, in an incredible country, and are blessed with privileges, rights and freedoms that much of the rest of the world has never experienced.

Indeed, we are truly blessed. As Abraham Lincoln once explained it:

“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.”

It is this appreciation for the freedoms we have that motivates so many of us to dedicate ourselves to preserving this American experiment. It’s a cause we take seriously here at the Institute.

But we don’t do this alone.

We might be the ones putting together policy solutions and compiling the research — but it’s supporters and advocates like you that truly make all our work possible.

None of what we do would have the impact it has without your support and enthusiasm for our shared ideals. Indeed, it is your generosity and engagement throughout the years that has made NPRI’s defense of freedom possible — and has turned the Institute into an effective champion of limited government.

We at the Institute are blessed to have so many supporters, friends, and proponents who are willing to help us do what we do. We’re thankful for all you do in support of freedom.

You truly are the driving force behind what allows us to keep doing the work that we love.

We all sincerely thank you! Together we will continue fighting to keep Nevada and the west prosperous and free.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving Day.
