Latest letter to my representative:
Dear Mr. Bennett-
I am writing to express my concern at Harold Koh's nomination to State Department Legal Advisor. After reading his own comments on his political and legal views, I believe his confirmation would lead to further weakening of the US constitution, and federal adherence to constitutional law. Whether he would intentionally weaken the constitution out of malice may be up for debate, but I believe his basic political views would inevitably lead to this end.
I would like to encourage you to please vote against his confirmation. While many of your peers in the Senate believe a President should be entitled to his nominees, I believe that entitlement only holds true if the nominee will help the president to uphold the constitution. If his nominee prefers international law to constitutional law, as this nominee does, or leans towards any other unconstitutional or treasonous opinion, I believe the Senate must act as the constitutional check and balance to said dangerous nominations.
Thank you for your time.

In theory, voting Obama could potentially be construed as supporting abortion, which would put you in the same boat... being refused the sacrament.

Of course, that would never happen and I'm being nit-picky-hypothetical but I found it to be an amusing comparison.
All the same, ridiculous.
It also brings to me a point for the "True Church". They're organized enough that you don't have officiators from random cities and states doing things radically different (especially in regards to sacaraments or doctrine) from other areas in the world, or even in the city.
How can you be sure you have the gospel, when it can vary from building to building?
