Info obtained from fvap.gov	Welcome to the Canteen Vote 2004 Info!   Today we have decided to do a thread on getting the vote out for our military heroes and their families. While many of you have already taken care of this issue, there are still quite a few that have not. With that in mind, we decided to help you out. The FReeper Canteen does steer clear of politics as much as possible. We believe that you should be able to visit the Canteen to get away from all the dramas in your life. We include politics as one of them. However, we believe strongly that as you are defending America so bravely around the world and at home; it is important that your voice be heard for the upcoming Presidential election. We will try to keep everyone informed about any changes that may occur throughout this process. Links will be provided around this thread with the locations of where you can register. If you are able to get to a computer, you will have no problems doing this. If you have loved ones that can help you with this process, we hope to make this as easy as possible for them. As always, if you have any questions please email us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com . Or please put the questions on the thread for possible answers or help. You fight so bravely and valiantly on our behalf. It is the least any of us can expect that your votes are counted and not disregarded because of politics. The way around this is to get the information on absentee ballots as soon as possible. Don't wait to do it. If you have a few minutes on the computer after "visiting" with loved ones, it should be a simple step. If you have any problems, please email us at the above email. We will try to help as much as we can. Thank you. By the way, we are kicking off our own Presidential campaign today. Check below for further information. If you want a man for all people, then you won't want to miss this!     What if I am in the military? Military personnel may apply for voter registration and/or request absentee ballots with a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) which may be obtained from the Unit Voting Officer. If the FPCA is not available, phone, send a written request to the Supervisor of Elections Office, or use the on-line request form. Spouses and dependents are considered to be of the same category of absentee voter as military members and generally should follow the same rules. Click on the logo for more information!   Do you know who represents you in Congress? If you don't have any idea who represents you, please click below. U.S. Senate U.S. Congress Things To Remember: 1. Most officials on the state elections boards are very helpful and will not hesitate to provide as much information as they can. 2. They are not allowed to persuade you to vote for any specific political party. They are there to provide a service to you, not to promote campaigns or political parties. 3. Many States allow you to register to vote when you renew or register for a driver's license. You can find out more information here from the DMV. 4. You must be a US citizen to vote in any election. It is illegal and prosecutable by law if you are caught voting as a non-citizen. 5. Many states require that you have a picture identification when you vote. So? Keep that in mind when you go to the polls to vote. 6. If you are stationed overseas, please click on the "Service Voting Web Sites" on the left hand side. Your commands should have someone on staff to help with any voting issues that may arise. If not, please visit your "home of record" (your home address when you entered the military) to find the information. 7. Postage is important. As soon as you receive your ballot, please vote and then mail it back as soon as possible. Don't wait too long or your ballot may not count. Every vote matters. 8. If you are a dependant, you can help alleviate any registration problems by calling, emailing, or mailing the service member's home of record. Most of the time they will mail out the voting registration information and you will have to send it back to them as quickly as possible. 9. There are deadlines for having absentee ballot registrations filed or returned. Check to make sure that you have plenty of time to file and return your ballot. 10. Your voice. Your vote. Stand Up and Be Counted!

Sorry taking so long to get back to you. I had a tooth pulled today. Had to wait 1 1/2 hours to get in. That's the trouble with trying to get worked in.

Yes, we are into autumn here, too. Soon I won't be able to lounge in my beach attire.

I will be glad when the coalition forces find these creeps that are abducting and beheading people. I know it's not nice, but I hope they send them straight to hell.

I guess I'll have to keep my ears open on the Nicolas Sarkosy issue.

I am taking what is called College Math, which is advanced Algebra basically. It is the last math class I need to pass, and the next to the last class I need to get my 2 year degree. I have basically been a part-time student for, oh, twenty years. Mainly to get training that helped my job. Then I was silly enough to make that my long-term goal. I am thinking I am going to have to make an appointment with a tutor at the college. I've got to pass this one.

Masked men, including one with a knife, centre, approach a man identified as American construction contractor Eugene Armstrong, moments before he was beheaded in Iraq, in this file image made from video, on Sept. 20, 2004.

Sorry, I cannot in good conscience actually post this garbage.

Hey you, yeah you the one with the knife. You have made a big mistake, you brought a knife to a gun fight.

 We are going to get you!

 

US President George W. Bush addresses soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division in September 2003, at Ft. Stewart, Georgia. The troops of the 3rd ID returned from an extended tour in Iraq last year, and now have been told they are going back.

For more images of 3 ID Abrams tanks check a certain FR.com profile.

 

Men at a Baghdad, Iraq, barbershop watch the television broadcast of a man identifying himself as British hostage Kenneth Bigley pleading with British Prime Minister Tony Blair to help save his life, Thursday Sept. 23, 2004. Two American hostages who were kidnapped with Bigley were beheaded earlier in the week by their captors.

Perhaps it is just me, but the last place I want to be when watching news about beheadings is in a barber chair.
