Fellow Latter Day Saints, consider this...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is politicaly neutral. However, they have issued official statements regarding many of the hot topic social issues of today. Here are two important issues to consider when you are voting on election day!

Democrats stand for…
- the right of every woman to choose…they support right to choose even if mother cannot pay (which means using tax money)
- no federal gay marriage ban


Republicans stand for…
- opposing the use of public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. At its core, abortion is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life.
- a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, because our children’s future is best preserved within the traditional understanding of marriage,

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement opposing gay marriage. (We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. – From The Family:A Proclamation to the World)
Also, the Church has said that elective abortion for personal or social convenience is contrary to the will and the commandments of God. Church members who submit to, perform, encourage, pay for, or arrange for such abortions may lose their membership in the Church.

Look pass what the media says…look pass who will get you the best tax cuts or health coverage…look pass the person you think has the better personality or public speaking ability…look at the moral values of the party they represent and vote with your MORAL conscience!
