Jane Pitt and a Pittlet.

Brad Pitt's mother has been confirmed to be the author of a letter to the Springfield News-Leader in Missouri. Jane Pitt, responding to an author who claimed Mitt Romney's Mormonism was at issue for Christian issues voters, noted: "any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."

Ms. Pitt praises Mitt Romney, saying the former Massachusetts governor is "against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality."

Mr. Pitt, the actor, has long supported gay marriage. Last summer, Mr. Pitt said in a statement: "It is each American's Constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit." He also has supported President Obama. Jane Pitt likely has a great deal to talk about, though, with Angelina Jolie's father, Jon Voight. Mr. Voight wrote in a 2008 Washington Times op-ed: "If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way."
