As I watch the news, I become more and more frustrated with the assumption by the bias that Hillary can't lose. If I could cut and paste, I would insert the beast with the seven heads here. We know who they are. From the letters I get from the troops, I feel the frustration of what news they get from home. I want to make sure that the military voice is loud and clear in this next election. It seems that some Americans have forgotten that our men and women in uniform DO get a vote. I know it is difficult for our deployed troops to get their vote in, and have thier voices heard. Is there anything we can do to improve this process? Is it time for another appeal to Congress for the troops vote? This might be the message we need to send to those on the hill that have dissed our troops.
After Florida 2000, I am convinced that if the military voter could swing an election to a Republican, they won’t be counted until well after any certification deadlines. There is a description in a few books of the Dem lawyers high-fiving each other after nullifying soldiers’ votes.

As am I...we know the MSM wants Hillary to be President but I’m skeptical about her true popularity.
Please allow me to help...
I’m not ready to give up on this idea. I’d like to swing the high five the other way. Thanks for your post.

My daughter will be in the ME this month.I am sending her a hand full of AZ voter registration forms to share will her military friends. Please send some to your servicemen for your state.The rats will do everthing to stop the military vote.This Nation can not afford to have Hillary in the Whitehouse again.!!!!!!!!..........
This issue certainly has long standing roots with the democrat party. The first time that troops in the field were allowed to vote was in the 1864 election. The democrat party did everything it could to prevent the union troops from voting. They tried to cheat, tried to nullify their votes, tried to deny them any right to vote because they were not physically present in their home states to vote. The troops voted overwhelmingly for Lincoln and he of course won a second term when even Lincoln himself thought he would lose. The democrat party should have been outlawed in this country in 1865.
When I was stationed overseas they found that most military absentee ballots never got counted. There are so many hoops to jump through that they can almost always find a way to toss them.
Please don’t scare me anymore!
I say that we move the primaries to the sandbox! To be very serious, the Appeal for Courage got great attention. Can something like that be encouraged for the elections?
Will this work? If it will, I am on it! I will also approach Families United For Our Troops with this idea.
Thank you!
Still, to win in 2008, we'd have to be a lot more unified than we are now. For the last couple of years it's been a constant drumbeat of I won't vote for this guy or that guy or I'm leaving the Republicans for some third party. Hildebeast and the Dems must be lovin' it.
I agree. This is the military’s opportunity to voice their frustration...by making sure their votes are counted. If nothing else, it will send a CLEAR message to Congress. I am still looking for ideas. After I returned from Iraq and found that Senator Kerry was going, I went right to the Cavuto Show. I asked all Commanders in the field, and all troops NOT to pose with Kerry. I did this because at that time there were over 3,500 troops he could not apologize to...my son being one. It worked! I got some very lonely pictures of Senator back from the troops. I know that we can try to make a difference here. I know many of us that are willing to try. Thanks for your post, Deb
Thanks!!!!.....AZ mail in ballots are also postage free!!!!..
look up the practice of caging as well, how many overseas military were denied the vote that way?
