Everyday our soldiers risk their lives to make this country safer. They fight to protect our civil liberties and safeguard our rights. One of those basic rights is the right to vote.
The 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act guaranteed the voting rights of deployed military, and Attorney General Holder's Justice Department continues to let them down and refuses to monitor compliance with this law!

Don’t hold your breath that this is enforced.
THE DEADLINE TO REQUEST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT IS THIS FRIDAY. ALL BALLOTS MUST BE MAILED TO MILITARY MEMBERS BY SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.
Let's do everything we can to help our military get their votes counted this time! Our Warriors in Afghanistan are busy watching each others backs right now so we need to help them as much as we can. Sending this link http://www.heroesvote.org/ to them and their families will help them so much!!! Everything they need to know to cast their vote is on this website.
The military is solidly against Obama so this comes as no surprise.
Calling our County Elections Office and asking them how many Military absentee ballots were requested and if they are ready to be mailed out by Saturday, is a way to help. The information is to be given upon request. It will also let the Elections Office personnel know we are supporters of our Military and expect all our troops to receive their requested ballot on time. We want to make sure they receive their ballots on time in order for them to return them on time to be counted.
I hope everyone who reads the information at the links above will check to see if their state needs attention in making sure Military members from their state are going to receive their requested ballots on time.
The Supervisor of Elections in many states are doing a fine job, but several states need serious attention!
As always, if anyone wished to be removed from my ping list, please let me know through FreepMail. Thanks!

More help needed here! Please see the email below from Shawn Pattison of Concerned Veterans for America. We sure could use help from Freeper Patriots in every state in making calls this Saturday. You can do it from the comfort of your home and all we're asking for is an hour or two of your time! You'll be asking 3 simple questions and you will help us gather crucial election data! Should be fun and interesting!
If you can help, please email Shawn at the email address below! Also, please forward to all your lists! Thanks so much for your help in support of our Military!

What do swing states have in common? Strong veteran populations. Our veterans will have a tremendous impact in determining who their next Commander-in-Chief will be, and could very well determine the 2012 presidential election. That's good news for veterans and active duty service members who have become the recent butt of political shortcuts in Washington. Regardless, the influence of veteran voters this election cycle needs your help as we identify center-right voters who are undecided.
Over the years, political parties have done an excellent job identifying positions of voters on abortion, guns, and marriage; much is assumed about veteran voters, but very little is known. Will you team-up with me in calling registered voters for two hours Saturday, who are also veterans, and help us discover where they sit on important issues? The system we're using is easy and works wherever you are connected!
Yours in freedom, Shawn
