Its membership, not the Church itself.  As a rule the Church itself 
stays out of politics, other than to say "Follow your conscience."

In fact, just about every election the leaders are asked to read a 
statement to the congregations reminding them that

1) The Church does not tell you how to vote.
2) Church facilities may not be used for political purposes
3) The Church does not endorse any specific individual OR piece of 
legislation
4) You should vote.
