Latino Mormons speaking out against Romney
 
http://news.yahoo.com/latino-mormons...081631712.html

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — When Honduran-born Antonella Cecilia Packard converted to the Mormon Faith 20 years ago, she said it was like "coming home."
The Catholic-educated Packard, who grew up in "the middle of Mayan ruins," appreciated the faith's strong sense of family and conservative values. She also saw her own history in the Book of Mormon with stories of migrations, tragedies and triumphs of a people many Mormons believe are the ancestors of some present-day Latinos.
But two decades after her conversion while a college student at Mississippi State, the 43-year-old Packard finds herself on a new mission: defeating Mitt Romney and any Mormon politician who betrays what she sees as a basic Mormon principle of protecting immigrants.
As Romney continues to seek the Republican presidential nomination while rarely discussing his faith, a growing number of vocal Hispanic Mormons say they intend to use Mormon teachings as a reason to convince others not to vote for him. They have held firesides (equivalent to a tent revival) on immigration, protested outside of Romney campaign events and have traveled across state lines to help defeat other Mormon politicians with similar harsh immigration stances.

Looks like they believe that there should be free and unfettered immigration.

Mexico does not tolerate free and unfettered immigration. It is a felony to be an illegal immigrant in Mexico.

America America, God shed his grace on thee, and crowned thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shinning sea.


Anyone want to sing along?

Don't count on me sing this lie. I don't think jesus wants anything to do with the way this nation is in any area.
Phony religions, people, government, politicians, just to name a few!
