BYU and Church buildings are being used for Mitt

I have received reports from all over the country that BYU students are being shipped to caucus states, and that Church buildings are being used to coordinate caucusing activities for Mitt Romney.

Anyone seen any of this?

"Certainly, it is not meet that we should bring politics into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but just as certainly, it is meet that every member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints take the doctrine of Christ into his politics, and that he evaluate every candidate and every platform under any and every political banner in the terms of the gospel of Jesus Christ. " -Joseph Fielding Smith

I know of Bus loads being sent to Wyoming to force the delegates to be for MITT.. when the majority was going somewhere else.

I do not know about the churches, just the fact that a bus load of 80 showed up at each Wyoming Delegate caucus from OUT OF STATE...

Can we read more about these bus loads-- and from which state they came? Nothing illegal in this I guess, but makes one curious.

I doubt it.

That is inside campaign information that I gleaned from a phone call.

You would have to find a Wyoming Mitt supporter that is willing to brag a bit....

(One that is now a delegate)

Yeah, I am a student at BYU-Idaho, and we have a Republican Party on campus which hosted a visit from Mitt Romney, this could have been prior to his announcement for candidacy, but I thought it was messed up. This is before I was in the know about him, otherwise I would have showed up to meet him and expose his fraud. People here are completely brainwashed. BTW the Republican Party students wear elephant logo shirts that say stuff like "the most correct" party, or "the right party". I am sick of the false, right-left paradigm on-campus, it needs to be exposed for what it is.

I know of at least one good Prof there. You should really consider putting a group together to help educate the LDS there. I went there back 1998/99 (before I woke up all the way, but I had just read "An Enemy hath Done this" and would have been very open. There are more there that are probably open and just need some direction

I can think of a few teachers actually. What is the name of the Prof. you were thinking? I am mostly upset with students coming from traditional republican homes. I am about 10 years older than most freshman coming in, so it is good that my voice of experience and understanding resounds a little bit more, or carries a bit more water in a classroom- just from age. I can't be too hard on them, I used to be just like them. My journey to this point has been interesting to say the least.

I am not sure if he wants himself "outed", but he has made an assignment to his class to watch "Man Freedom and Government", which can be viewed here:

don't want to burst your bubble, but while its better that you are there than not, if they won't listen to the prophets, can't see GWB and his crooked mates are gadiantons, can't see the bleeding obvious in the al-queda twin towers terrorist fantasy, are in favour of perpetual war and a bankrupt nation (ie republican true believers), don't get your hopes too high- but good stuff all the same.

People are waking up. Even if you wake up one more, it is ONE more!

And it makes a difference to that ONE.

The power point presentations others have been working on have been great!
