Obey Hendricks was "inspired" to write this via my website:

I just wish he'd read the thing better.

He has told me he plans to go on radio and T.V. shows exposing to the American public that Romney has not apologized for the Curse of Cain Doctrine, nor has the LDS Church. I HOPE HE DOES!

I don't care what you say, it looks like yelling to me (my ears hurt).
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I was excommunicated by the Mormons in 1973, over this very issue. I asked for that excommunication because I couldn't associate with a racist church. But they changed, as did many institutions over the years, and I accept and honor that change.

There are a million reasons why I won't vote for Mitt Romney if he's the nominee, but an allegation of Mormon racism - here and now - is not one of them.

If anyone is interested, I blogged about it. I usually blog about completely different issues, but I hated to see Ed Schultz's insinuations so I had to write about this issue. http://chimptrainersdaughter.blogspot.com/2012/01/mormons-excommunicated-me-for-racial.html

Welcome DawnForsythe.

Enjoyed your blog. Any blog related to chimps is worth reading in my book.

Hope you will continue to contribute.
