You are speaking of my mormon family.

Well in the Mormon temple ritual,.... Mormons give an oath never to “speak evil of the Lord's anointed,” or in other words, to never criticize a Church leader..... The “penalty” for breaking this oath is eternal damnation.

How then can we expect any Mormon Congressional Representative to oppose anything Romney might do as President? nor speak anything but favorability toward Romney?.... not only as he runs...but if he assumes the Presidency? Will those who should oppose him do so or are they under the authority of that oath they took not to “speak against their leader”?.... especially since a Church member's own sense of ethics is ‘always superseded’ by the Church's policy....

I'm sorry your family is in that Stronghold...but it can be broken....I'm sure you and others have been instrumental to encourage them to seek the truth....but it does take the Lord God's timing for when that happens...as soon as they want to know the truth.

Romney would certainly promote the Mormon agenda, both politically and from a religious view in any and every way he could, and use the power of his office, though it would be as hidden as all their other agendas, just like the 13 Mormon Congressional legislators did in the following:

In 2010 Thirteen Mormon members 'of the United States Congress' sent a strong letter to the Swiss Ambassador, when the Swiss had determined banning missionaries from other countries. ....The 13 letter signers 'were protesting' the Swiss Government’s banning of Mormon missionaries from that county. This was not protesting all missionary expulsions... but specifically Mormons.

The one page letter 'signed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid' and f'our other United States Senators 'and eight 'House members' was sent to the Swiss Ambassador and said:

......“We earnestly petition the Swiss Government to reconsider its decision and work with us and the LDS Church to find a solution which would permit LDS missionaries to continue to perform their missionary service in Switzerland as they have done since 1850.”

In his reply letter, the Swiss Ambassador referred to one recent meeting to discuss the situation between high ranking Swiss Government officials and the United States Ambassador to Switzerland Don Beyer, and at least one top mormon church leader.

These five Senators and eight House Members were USING THEIR OFFICES to influence governments on behalf of the Mormon church...rather than address the issue from the prospective of the Swiss ban of all missionaries.

Their letter to the Swiss Government states:....... “It would be a great tragedy for our two nations if the long-standing missionary program of the LDS Church in Switzerland were terminated,”... the congressional members wrote..... “Switzerland can have no more enthusiastic, lifetime ambassadors in the United States than these young people when they return home." This is disingenuous. These 13 mormon legislators do not care about creating "ambassadors" for Switzerland out of nineteen year-olds..... Their motive was to continue their work at supporting the church and it's Political tentacles which reach Internationally.

It is more than troubling that elected government officials used their Official Offices and the relationship between nations to press the interests of one church organization, the Mormon Church and it's agenda....but worse excluding all missionaries who were not of the Mormon faith.
