To: Fundamentally Fair

“Military personnel are allowed to take part in most political activities as long as they do not do so in uniform or as an official representative of the military, the Pentagon policy states”

My understanding was that active duty personnel were forbidden to become party officials, i.e., delegates, precinct chairs, etc.

I’ve long been of the opinion that the same restriction should apply to all government employees.

Believe it is the Hatch Act that covers this.

Military in uniform are not to take part in politics. Obvious reasons. But they work for their government paycheck They can vote. Their absentee ballots regularly get confiscated by democrats in general election. Same outrage should apply to that. More.

Reason should apply also to anyone depending on government for their income. Anyone receiving food stamps or welfare should not be allowed to vote.
