Holy Flying Mormons!

This is almost as interesting as the ERA organization that was done by the church. I have no idea if this will work or backfire, there were some serious issues in Virgina with the ERA organizing but there were no charges.

It appears that it was just a couple of BYU employees that may have crossed the line of propriety, but I don't think it should be surprising that Church members and BYU employees would help Mitt. They just need to be careful about separating their personal/political lives from their professional lives so they don't endanger the good name of BYU and the Church.

OK, I think there was *one email* sent that was probably out of place. Other than that, I don't think that LDS leaders are not allowed to express support for candidates outside of their role in the Church, neither I think they need to "equally distribute" their vote across the many potential political candidates.

I don't think I should feel compelled to vote the same as Elder Holland. I don't think I should be compelled to *not* vote the same as Elder Holland.
