MILITARY VOTE STILL SUPPRESSED


It is beyond outrageous that the same people who are dying for this country are prevented from voting for their Commander in Chief.

ELECTION 2012 IS HERE. MILITARY VOTE STILL SUPPRESSED
By carolynmincey  

What about the Military Vote? I hear a lot about the Hispanic Vote, the African-American Vote, the Swing State Vote, and the Independent Vote, but nothing about the Military Vote.
You may have forgotten that in 2000 Democrats changed the long standing method for transporting MILITARY ballots from those out of the country serving their country to their appropriate voting sites. Since then, the MILITARY VOTE continues to be suppressed. How many MILITARY BALLOTS HAVE BEEN IGNORED OVER THE YEARS? HOW MANY WERE NOT COUNTED IN 2000, AND THERE AFTER?
In the 2010 Election in some places over 70% of the MILITARY BALLOTS were not counted. How does that sound for protecting voting rights? Google -military ballots not counted to get an idea of the suppression of the military vote. Some States did not mail the ballots out on time and were not really reprimanded. It was like it was no big deal. How do you feel about right of military to vote whether they are in or out of the country. Recently, Obama had a problem with giving the military three extra days to vote. Why? Active duty military men and women are not the same as other citizens – they can be called up at any time to report to their unit. Ordinary citizens are not on stand by and they come and go at their own discretion. It is not so with the military.
Remember, also, that the President has been quick to freeze military pay. At the time that the rest of us are being told to cut back, there have been several bills introduced in the Senate and House since January 2011 (http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/b_three_sections_with_teasers/active_leg_page.htm) Senate S.133 and S.148; and House H.R.246;H.R.343, H.R.431. I cannot say that I understand or have read the content of all of the different versions, but I do like the idea. What I don’t like is that this matter has not been brought up for vote or resolved. Why not? I have also heard that there are at least 33 Bills pending that Harry Reid has not allowed to come up for vote. A very good reason to voting Republican is to get rid of Harry Reid. Normally I do not like playing party politics, but this year we need a total change in leadership.
Harry Reid has held up legislation and not produce a budget for over three years. And the Democrats continue to insist on blaming the Republicans and call them the “do nothing Republicans.” The fact of the matter is that the Democrats are holding up everything that does not fit into their hidden agenda. If you are concerned about my words, look at what has been done and stop spending so much time on what is being said. What they say now does not change what they have done. Actions still speak louder than words. Words can deceive, but recorded actions speak for themselves. Don’t forget inaction. Inaction, also, tells a story. What passes tells about as much as what does not pass like suppressing the MILITARY VOTE.
Make up your mind. You can find out who is lying and suppressing votes. So far, they have not been able to get all of the opposition off of the internet. They are working on it behind closed doors. You do have to read a lot to find the truth, and check the sources. Another thing that has changed over the past few years is that, once upon a time, the “R” or “D” or “I” was next to the names of the Senators and Representatives, now you have to look them up. Don’t be discouraged. You should know your own Senators and Representative. Are they voting the right way on the issues that are important to you? How do they feel about the MILITARY VOTE? And, don’t let the party title trick you. If your Republican is a RINO, or your Democrat is not a Blue Dog Democrat, you may have reason for concern. What’s important to you? Are you and your Congressman on the same page on most of the things that are important to you?
The MILITARY VOTE IS IMPORTANT TO THESE UNITED STATES. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE DAILY TO SERVE US. THEIR PAY IS NOT THAT HIGH IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY GOT ANY OF THE $170,000.00 A YEAR JOBS THAT OBAMA CREATED.
Now, I ask you to check on your State and see what they have done about the MILITARY BALLOTS, if it is not too late. You might want to check on the voting dead, the counties that have more voters than residents, and voter intimidation. The Obama Administration has refused to follow through on requiring accurate voter rolls, or prosecuting Black Panthers for voter intimidation. I wonder if they would prosecute the KKK – not that I am promoting this group, but our laws are supposed to apply to everyone. One would think that laws were made to be broken. The Democrats have always had a problem with enforcing the existing laws and like to create new laws that they still do not want to enforce either. They even sue States that try to do what the Federal Government refuses to to, like protecting our borders. The President sends the military out of the country to defend freedom, and refuses to defend their right to vote right here at home. They face bullets, and bombs, and untold harsh living conditions, while we sit here cozy in our air conditioned homes, and the President takes a helicopter to go thirteen blocks.

WILL THE MILITARY VOTE BE SUPPRESSED, AGAIN? I HOPE NOT. LET OUR MILITARY BALLOTS BE COUNTED. NO EXCUSE. NO EXCUSE. GET IT DONE.
