Editor,
Do reporters actually do research before publishing articles? The AP reporter who wrote the article concerning Latino LDS members being against Romney and other LDS politicians was anything but factual (Feb. 21, "LDS Latinos: Keep Mitt out"). Where did the supposed member get the information that 70 percent of Latino LDS members are illegal? Did he call each member and ask their status? I must have been out when they called my house, or when they called my friends, too. Do these so called members forget that only the prophet and the those designated by him speak for the church?
The message they believe the Book of Mormon has is so far off mark it makes me wonder if they are even members. No member that I know would ever dream of saying these things. The Church hires members to transport "illegal" Latino missionaries from state to state? Do they use the underground railroad? This must be part of the secret society few of us are told about (sarcastic comment).
I'm a Hispanic LDS member, and my beliefs aren't even close to what those people say. So again I ask, do reporters even do research before publishing these articles? Or do they just save time, find a couple of people, and write down their opinions. Next time, Mr. Contreras should come to Salt Lake City and talk to the church leaders to get true information.
