Dear David, 

As indicated earlier, the prohibition against becoming involved in partisan 
politics grew out of concerns that we not be perceived as opposing the 
government in any way. That principle simply wouldn't hold if a government official 
became a Baha'i, especially if they were the president. 

warmest, Susan
