Seniors Balance Trust and Transparency on Drug Ads

Each week, AMAC releases a new survey, and the latest results show that seniors aren’t falling neatly into the boxes Washington expects when it comes to drug advertising.

What’s the Truth about the First Thanksgiving?

In the 5-minute video What’s the Truth about the First Thanksgiving, author and radio host Michael Medved challenges modern claims that the holiday represents oppression rather than gratitude. He recounts the Pilgrims’ mission, their providential arrival, and Squanto’s remarkable role in the first harvest festival that later became Thanksgiving. PragerU is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that promotes American values in short educational videos for people of all ages.

Quote of the Week

“I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.”

— Abraham Lincoln in his Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1863
