Nauvoo Christian Visitors Center:
Can Americans Trust Mormons in Public Office?
Is the Mormon Church the Ultimate Lobbyist?

    NAUVOO, Ill., Jan. 22  -- Today, Mitt Romney's
bid for the presidency has everybody asking the following questions:
Can
Americans trust Mormons in public office? Is the Mormon Church the
ultimate
lobbyist? Could a Mormon who holds a governmental position of
authority be
forced by their religious beliefs to make a decision contrary to all
logic,
reason, facts, or evidence? Do Mormons swear allegiance to their
church,
its prophets and apostles, their living oracles, and the priesthood
power
they hold? Author Rocky Hulse's "When Salt Lake City Calls: Is There a
Conflict Between Mormonism and the Public Trust?" answers these
questions
and more.

    "Every year is an election year for public officials around the
country," says Hulse. "Every day appointments are made to fill
important
governmental positions of authority from the local to the federal
level.
Can we, the American public, feel confident that our elected or
appointed
government officials of the Mormon faith will act in the best interest
of
those they are elected or appointed to represent, or are they in
bondage to
fulfill the interest of their 'church' over the people they serve?"

    Without inflammatory language or sensationalism, "When Salt Lake
City
Calls" logically and systematically details Mormon doctrines that
clearly
show the oaths and covenants required for membership in the Mormon
Church,
the Mormon Priesthood, and the completely secret oaths mandated in the
Mormon Temple Ceremony. Hulse makes understandable the very complex
doctrines of Mormonism and lays plain the key provisions of the faith
that
are in absolute opposition to the American ideal of free and
unencumbered
representation in the halls of government. A startling aspect of this
thoroughly researched work is the Mormon doctrinal concept that on
"Resurrection Morning" a Mormon will not only be judged by Jesus
Christ,
but also the Mormon leadership now living on earth. This puts a Mormon
in a
doctrinal vice. If a Mormon were to refuse "counsel" delivered by
Mormon
Leadership, it could very well cost them their status for eternity.

    Hulse, a retired Navy veteran, is a 6th generation ex-Mormon
intimately
familiar with the inner teachings and circles of Mormonism. "When Salt
Lake
City Calls" has been in print for three months and has yet to be
challenged
by the Mormon Church -- the silence is deafening!
