Welcome to the Canteen Vote 2004 Info! ![](http://www.canteenusa.com/sports/vote.gif)
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. ![Register To Vote](https://ssl.capwiz.com/img/e2k4/20031208_election2004-reg.gif) 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.
![Flag Checkmark](http://www.sos.state.al.us/images/flagcheck.gif) 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?![logo of the Federal Voting Assistance Program](http://www.hernandovotes.com/images/fvaplogo-larger_small.jpg)
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.

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! |

Greetings, Canteeners, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!
And it's Thursday in Cubeville for Sarge and selected members of the Canteen, as the work week rolls merrily on. Or, as you also might call it, The Day Watch - our intrepid night-owls keep the coffee going and the lights on for our Canteen visitors to find their way here.
And Sarge is particularly glad for today's thread because, in all the confusion of the upcoming mission, there's a real chance of being out of the area for Election Day! Which of course means, Absentee Ballot Time.
Now, the last time that Sarge tried this, was four years ago as an absentee military voter out of Orlando - and we all know how THAT turned out...
But speaking of votes, I notice that we now have a horse race in the Canteen Presidential race, with the entrance of Brad's Gramma! Now it just depends, on which candidate wants a cranky old NCO for a Secretary of Defense...
Well, onto the Personals:
TONKIN/MOJO: Oboy, another Canteen Contest!! Wanna play, wanna play, wanna play...
USVET/KJFINE: I'm wondering about a FReepMeet, of the Bluegrass Boys of the Canteen? FReepmail me with ideas...
TOMKOW: BEHAVE YOURSELF!
TO THE CANTEEN WEEKEND DEEJAY'S: Any chance you can make the juke box a little top-heavy with Oldies?
Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!
SARGE
DISCLAIMER: If you'd like to be on/off Sarge's Canteen Roll Call, FReepmail with details!

Today's FEEBLE
![](http://images3.fotki.com/v27/photos/5/55348/267509/friedeggpillow-vi.jpg)
YOKE :
A life-long Republican was lying on his death bed when he suddenly decided to join the Democratic party.
"But why?" asked his puzzled friend. "You're GOP through and through. Why would you change now?"
The man learned forward and whispered, "Well, I'd rather it was one of them that died instead of one of us."

Who Gets The Love?
Read: Luke 15:11-32
Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. Luke 15:31
Bible In One Year: Song of Solomon 1-3; Galatians 2
A sociologist was writing a book about the difficulties of growing up in a large family, so he interviewed the mother of 13 children. After several questions, he asked, "Do you think all children deserve the full, impartial love and attention of a mother?"
"Of course," said the mother.
"Well, which of your children do you love the most?" he asked, hoping to catch her in a contradiction.
She answered, "The one who is sick until he gets well, and the one who is away until he gets home."
That mother's response reminds me of the shepherd who left 99 sheep to seek the one that was lost (Luke 15:4), the woman who searched for the one coin (v.8), and the father who threw a party when his wayward son returned (vv.22-24).
The religious leaders of Jesus' day resented the way He gave so much attention to sinners (vv.1-2). So He told those stories to emphasize God's love for people who are lost in sin. God has more than enough love to go around. Besides, those who are "well" and are not "lost" experience the Father's love as fully as those to whom He gives special attention (v.31).
Father, forgive us for feeling slighted when You shower Your love on needy sinners. Help us to see how needy we are and to abide in Your boundless love. Mart De Haan
The One who made the heavens,
Who died on Calvary,
Rejoices with His angels
When sinners are set free. Fasick
God loves every one of us as if there were but one of us to love. Augustine
