The Mormon rapid response team
In all the years I've been blogging at Detroit News, I posted about Mormons for the first time just this weekend. Since then I've been deluged with emails from Mormons. Really long emails.

I used to work with a young Mormon man. Not much of one I guess since he had a shotgun wedding. He was a pretty decent guy, with pretty much right wing views but I doubt he even voted.
