Utah County Democrats - GOP Dominance Troubles Church

Utah County Democrats - GOP Dominance Troubles Church: "-- The LDS Church's reputation as a one-party monolith is damaging in the long run because of the seesaw fortunes of the national political parties.

-- The overwhelming Republican bent of LDS members in Utah and the Intermountain West undermines the checks-and-balances principle of democratic government.

-- Any notion that it is impossible to be a Democrat and a good Mormon is wrongheaded and should be 'obliterated.'

-- Faithful LDS members have a moral obligation to actively participate in politics and civic affairs, a duty many have neglected."
