Rammell’s Invocation of Prophecy Rejected by LDS

By Andrew at January 5th, 2010.

Idaho GOP gubernatorial candidate Rex Rammell says saving the U.S. Constitution requires God’s help. Rammell’s thoughts are captured in a nine-minute excerpt from a recent news conference now available on YouTube.

“America would not exist if it wasn’t for the divine hand of providence in not only intervening to win the Revolutionary War but in writing the inspired words of the Constitution,” Rammell says in the video. “To think that we can save the Constitution without God’s help when the government of the United States is corrupt is absurdity.”

While the Statesman brands Rammell as a “GOP” gubernatorial candidate (he is running in the Republican primary slated for May), the candidate previously ran under his own branding for the state legislature as an “Independent Conservative.”

According to the Huckleberries Online blog at Spokesman.com, the Mormon Church responded late last month by distancing itself from Rammell, and rejecting any invocation of the church in political campaigns.
