Romney Calls on N.Y. to Screen Pensions
Romney calls on New York officials to divest state pension funds from Iran

BOSTON, Feb. 23, 2007
By GLEN JOHNSON Associated Press Writer

(AP) Republican Mitt Romney, seeking to make U.S. policy toward Iran his issue, on
Thursday urged several elected New York officials to divest any state pension funds
from Iran.

Romney, who also wrote to New York Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chuck Schumer,
said screening pension investments and divesting from companies linked to Iran could
have an effect.

It was not clear how much New York had invested in Iran, if anything. State
officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, issued a similar call to his home state
last month, but it turned out Massachusetts did not invest any of its $46 billion in
pension funds in Iran.

2. Because Romney believes he will rule his own set of planets?

Or has the right to send his wife to heaven or keep her here?

Mormonism is sick.
