Vote according to the dictates of your own conscience?

This is a statement which in some way or another is sent out in a press release to each branch or ward throughout the world near elections. This year the First Presidency has sent out a new letter. We should all hear it in the near future from the pulpet in Sacrament meeting. If you don't you can read it at the lds.org website search First Presidency Issues Letter on Political Participation...under the gospel library...date 22 Sep 2008. What part of the statement do many people not understand? Is someone lesser or wrong if they believe one person is better than another just because they are from one political party or another? I am just mixed up sometimes about the thoughts of people. Just to let you know we have many members in the LDS church who are registered democrats...we have probably more who are registered republicans. I am going to follow the prophet and vote according to my own conscience (voting for the person I believe will do the best for our country and people.) We need to vote and give others the right to vote and not feel judged if those votes differ. Sometimes I may vote republican and sometimes it may be democrat. So no more judging jokes according to what I or anyone else votes please. I believe we need to be grateful for those who will do their duty and vote...whatever the vote is... I remember many a time when my parents went to vote...they never missed...they would say they had to go cancel each others vote out. One would usually vote once way and the other the opposite. They were a good example of the importance of voting tho. They didn't hate each other or make mean jokes about the other because of their votes either. Thank you very much mom and dad for the great example.
