Mitt Romney donated $10,000 to Prop 8

This may not hurt him while he is still fighting for the Republican nomination, but once he goes head to head with Obama, it will be a different story.

I'm surprised it was only $10,000. That sounds like the kind of money a guy like Romney would spend on his suits.

WOW- all I can say is WOW. Beleive it or not many Republicans would be shocked to see that and it could have an impact on voting for him. I never would anyway, but I do hope this gets out. And Mia, they actually ASK people to donate a certain amt. IT is just unbelieveable!

Re: Mitt Romney donated $10,000 to Prop 8
They asked for 10,000. Got turned down
So then they asked for 5,000. got turned down
Then they asked for 2,000. Got turned down.
My sister thinks it's wrong to attack a group of people for being who God made them. She was very anti prop. 8.
When she told me about this, her last comment was that they would probably get blacklisted, or at the very least knocked down a few rungs on the mormon social roster. She was right.
It's a good thing she doesn't care about that.

GOOD FOR YOUR SISTER!
Glad to hear some members stuck to their higher morals in that fight.

in my middle class neighborhood
One widow was told to donate $30,000 which she did.
One family group of 3 adults was told to donate $200,000 which they did.
$10,000 seems low.

Yeah, a guy in my old ward donated $10,000 and he was not a millionaire.

Re: Mitt Romney donated $10,000 to Prop 8
Did they ask because your sister is particularly well off? I can't imagine they could expect the run of the mill middle class member to part with that amount of money! Well, maybe I can imagine.

It was suggested to my wealthy brother that he donate $25,000, which he willingly did. He also spent a Saturday afternoon with his family of 10 all holding signs at a busy intersection.
It just depresses me. What a waste.

I've mentioned this on another thread,but there was a family in my area (No. Ca.) that gave their life savings. $40,000 and they have 5 children. Makes me sick.
