Cheney's message wrong

I strongly object to BYU's invitation to Vice President Dick Cheney to speak at the April 2007 commencement exercises. His presence will cause many people — perhaps even the majority of Utahns — to believe and occasionally to state that BYU and the LDS Church prefer Republicans over Democrats. Furthermore, this invitation is a tacit acceptance of the misbegotten war in Iraq that Vice President Cheney promoted and has defended.
