Washington, DC based, Politico was the first to report on this groundbreaking ad campaign, “Gay Group Targets Romney,” directed at presumptive 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The ad asks Mormon Church leaders to take a vow of political neutrality on gay marriage.

SAN DIEGO DEMONSTRATION
Monday, March 22nd – 5:30 pm
Ask Mitt Anything
Ask Mitt Romney to help stop the Mormon Church’s nasty campaign against gay marriage!
As a national political leader and influential member of the Mormon Church, Mitt Romney could persuade Church leaders to end their 15 years of active involvement, and massive financial support to oppose equal rights for Gay and Lesbian Americans.
The Mormon Church and its members have spent tens of millions of dollars in 31 states to ban gay marriage and hurt so many people.
Mormon Church Leaders should take a vow of political neutrality on gay rights, similar to their stated practice in partisan elections.
