The Military Vote

Posted on 10/04/2007 9:17:35 AM PDT by debbieargel

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.

Wasn’t the lack of postage on the 2000 ballots the reason Florida rejected them?

Yes, what is caging? If it is a problem, now is the time to find the solution. Deb

a letter is sent to your home, if you don’t reply within a certain amount of time (30 days I think), a request is sent to have your name removed from the voter rolls. If you’re serving overseas you of course you wouldn’t be able to respond so you’d be purged, your absentee ballot wouldn’t be counted because you weren’t a registered voter.

Thanks for your post. I have just sent out a letter to a few members of Congress on this issue.

Wondering, that the possibility of a conspirancy exists between the clinton machine and some of these socalled independent polling orgs with the promise of being their pollster of choice once she gets in office or being blacklisted by them for not playing ball with them

I don’t know. I would go to the sandbox myself and set up the polling place at each base if they would let me. Congress will hold the troops fate in thier hands. We saw the Army cut in half by one administration. Bring them home early and downsize during a war? Guess that would pay for the healthcare plan...
