“Before that ribbon falls and every surrounding mountain rises six or seven hundred feet,” declared Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, “we come to what L. Ron Hubbard would have you remember before venturing forth across this valley: Not ‘good luck,’ nor ‘happy trails,’ but merely and simply: ‘Change no man’s religion, change no man’s politics. Instead, teach Man to use what he has and what he knows to the factual creation of a civilization on Earth for the first time.’ Wherefore comes freedom from ignorance and then, perhaps, a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.” © 2025 Church of Scientology International.

“Together we enacted legislation protecting families from being broken up, just because parents wouldn’t put their children on dangerous psychotropics. And when that bill passed, together we had secured the most important right for Utah families: The right to be a family.”

“When I see Scientologists and the work you do, I see a badge that reads: ‘We’re here to help.’ You looked at the officers drowning under the poison of those meth labs. You reached out to us when no one else knew what to do, and said: ‘We are going to help you.’ And because of that, you can count on us never forgetting L. Ron Hubbard and the Church of Scientology.”

“We first met members of your Church when testifying at Capitol Hill. We immediately collaborated on education efforts on behalf of freeing men, women and children from modern-day slavery. But if that’s not commitment enough, you’ve even put your own lives on the line, flanking our extraction operations to expose real-life traffickers. Yes, you educate, you empower and you most certainly liberate in the name of freedom.”

“For all Scientologists out there, you should take pride, because you’re making a massive difference. That is, both in terms of what you have done and what you are continuing to do. I’d like to say we are ‘cut from the same wood’ as you. And, we consider that a heck of a compliment for us. Because you are not only accepted, but are applauded for your disaster work in Utah and all over the World.”
