Marie Micheletti, Tremont, IL

Could it be that Romney didn’t choose a woman because Romney’s church, (Mormon) although they claim they believe in equality for women, the Mormon church excommunicated one of their own, Sonia Johnson, a fifth-generation Mormon, when she co-founded an organization called Mormons for ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) as LATE as 1977?

Could it be Romney didn’t choose a Black man/woman because Romney’s church (Mormon) didn’t reverse a long-standing policy that excluded men of black African descent from the priesthood until as LATE as 1978?

Could it be that Romney just still doesn’t believe in that “new-fangled” idea of racial and gender equality?
