Hoo Boy. So I got a chain email asking for all Mormons around the country to fast for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
Straight off of reading it I felt as if my religion was being used as propaganda against me. "C'mon you're a Mormon so obviously you want a Mormon as POTUS and it would be the right thing too." I just felt icky and wrong after reading that email.
Though the email did promise If we do all that we can through our hard work and prayers in behalf of Mitt Romney miracles will happen. That made me wonder if the miracle would be a viable candidate would appear who is better than the choices available to us.
On a side note, it would be amusing if Mitt were elected and Harry retained his position as senate majority leader. Then the world could see two Mormons in political contention one with another. That, I think, would help the world at large realize that we Mormons are everyday people.
Oh, and by the way, this attempt to use the church to endorse a candidate goes against the policy of the LDS church itself.
And another post-script. I have yet to make up my mind in this election. I hear so much from both campaigns about why I shouldn't vote for the other guy but not so much why I should vote for their guy.
