I left Western Pa for Alaska over 20 years back, but had a bunch of Dutchie Neighbors and they didn't vote at all; maybe they do nowadays. Their reasoning was that they were under God's Law, not any Govt. They chose to ignore what they couldn't legally avoid. Why for so many years, they payed into Social Security and when they turned 62, never applied.

I know many Mennonites are quite conservative. I actually have a left wing Bro-in-law (Past Pres of NEA, hates guns,typical lib) who had his only Catholic daughter marry a Mennonite; entire family will be Repubs, I just luv it.

The Amish may not vote, but they will start riots!!!!

When I first moved here to PA, my husband took me to the Farm Show. I had never seen so many long denim skirts! I did see some Mennonites the other day at the Ryan rally.
