So, where does the Mormon Senators, Harry Reid and Orrin Hatch stand on this? Are they gonna support this amendment as all good Mormons should do?????

[JCEccles]

There is no question that Hatch supports the amendment.

Reid? My guess is that politics will trump common sense in his case.

Don't forget Mitt Romney. He seems to have a decidedly non-LDS point of view in such matters.

Here's a truly good mormon [Ezra Benson] views on government. -- Would he have supported it?

The Proper Role of Government
Address:http://www.usiap.org/Legacy/Addresses/ProperRoleOfGovt.html

--- The Proper Function Of Government ---


"-- This means, then, that the proper function of government is limited only to those spheres of activity within which the individual citizen has the right to act.

By deriving its just powers from the governed, government becomes primarily a mechanism for defense against bodily harm, theft and involuntary servitude.
It cannot claim the power to redistribute the wealth or force reluctant citizens to perform acts of charity against their will.

Government is created by man. No man possesses such power to delegate. --"

Well, Orrin Hatch will vote for the amendment. Harry Reid will do what is politically expedient, vote for the amendment.

If they want to have a chance of getting re-elected they do. Some times it’s not what the church says, but the fact that a large number of your constituents agree with what it is saying that makes a legislator “go with the church on this one”.

Simply put too many Mormons, and non Mormons are pro family and it would be handing your opponent a very big stick to beat you with in the next election.

(Utah is considered a safe yes on this amendment).
