The article left out a part of the First Presidency admonition that is just as important. It encouraged members to study candidates carefully and to vote for those demonstrating integrity, compassion and service to others — regardless of party affiliation.

From way back in the 1970s I understand that Pres James E. Faust and also Dr Hugh Nibley were Democrats.

When I first arrived at BYU in the early 1970's, there were several big-name Democrats in Utah politics. These included Govs. Calvin Rampton and Scott Matheson. Also, Sen. Frank Moss, and Congress members Jim Matheson (Scott's son), Wayne Owens, and Gunn McKay.

Are you aware Presidents Eyring, Uchdorft and Anderson are listed as Independents? Some of us just can’t put our names on either of the two major political parties list without feeling we are endorsing their policies.

I am all for loving everyone, regardless of their political party, but HOW can a member of the church support a party that has REPEATEDLY supported abortion????????? This party will not even modify their stance or engage in ANY compromise. It is unfathomable to many members of the church. And, NO ONE needs to guess which party I am referring to. I do not wish make a personal attack, to persecute, or to harm. However, it is very understandable that many members of the church are shocked at such support.

Thank you, thank you! Some articles by otherwise faithful people on this site have vilified "the left," homogenizing a great variety of viewpoints. But in this article I can feel the goodies of your heart and your desire to make peace. Bravo!
