Thank you for your blog post. For information on the LCMS position on the death penalty, please review our Frequently Asked Question at http://www.lcms.org/faqs/lcmsviews#deathpenalty. The LCMS would not have an opinion on campaign contributions. You may want to review Render Unto Caesar … and Unto God: A Lutheran View of Church and State at http://www.lcms.org/Document.fdoc?src=lcm&id=360.
