Firmage recounts his personal experiences voicing opposition to the MX guided missile basing system which would have been situated in Nevada and western Utah. He began speaking out against it in 1979. He met with and wrote position papers to members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. The MX statement from the First Presidency effectively killed the MX basing system in 1981. Firmage, a Mormon, had worked with people of many other faiths in opposition to this MX system.
