How Could Our Leaders Do This to Our Troops? [absentee ballots]
http://tinyurl.com/2bglcfs

It’s utterly amazing that our nation’s leadership is able to send our
troops around the world and overnight have sleeping quarters (known in
military parlance as “billets”) constructed to house them.

It is equally amazing that the required arms (bullets) can be shipped with
equally profound efficiency and timely deliverance to any spot determined
by that same leadership, anywhere in the world.

And yet, the same leadership fails to deliver election ballots to the very
people who defend the right to vote for every other American. Is that a
failure in leadership?

I come to this moment of truth not as a Democrat, Republican, independent,
libertarian, far left or far right zealot but as an American.

As a former United States Marine, I find it utterly unconscionable that
our troops are denied the same rights as those citizens who refuse to even
bend over and pick up a piece of trash they have so selfishly discarded on
the street…

In fact, I find it contemptible in a country that can ship men to the moon
and bring them back with pinpoint accuracy, can ship a letter or package
from the back hills of Montana to any point in the country overnight --
with the guarantee of having it there before 3 p.m. the next day; can ship
cargo the size of a tank overnight to any place in the world, can take
advantage of new technologies and send messages around the world in a nano
second, can deliver political campaign ads with efficiency and with
certain specificity; can fly a group of politicians overnight to any
desired location on the planet and can not or will not ship ballots to our
men and women who put themselves at risk every day so that the rest of the
country can vote.

Yes, it's a pretty dire situation when the commander in chief and his
selected and even elected minions allow such a travesty of justice.

It struck me rather strange that our very own president who finds time to
speak about equal rights, equal benefits and equal outcomes for all is so
reluctant to better serve those he asks to pay the ultimate price for
their country.

The president has signed numerous executive orders, using his position of
power and decree to affect our lives as he sees best but he withholds
demanding equal justice for our troops.

It amazes me that nearly every elected representative and senator,
governor and mayor has yet to stand up and scream at the top of their
lungs to stop the unequal treatment of our troops. Above all else, they
should see to it that our men and women in the service of their country,
should be first in line at the ballot box. Why have they not done this?

Why not? Can it be because those serving their country in the military may
have a tendency to vote their conscience and there is a fear that it may
just be a bit too conservative for those who make those decisions?

In my humble opinion, as an American first, and as an avid supporter of
all our troops, regardless of their political affiliation, any politician
who will not support the rights of those in harm’s way and do everything
in their power to get them the opportunity to vote should either resign,
quit, move on or step aside in the disgrace they so richly deserve.

And to you Mr. President, have you forgotten that as commander in chief
you took an oath to serve all the people? Shouldn’t that include voting
rights for the troops? To do otherwise is an insult to all who serve.

Obama had NOTHING to do with this, K00K. It was New York City's

SNIP

First, I completely disagree with what I think your beliefs are.

However, in the interest of not perpetuating misspelling and bad use of
grammar, you (and others) should know that the word is correctly spelled
usurper. And the phrase should have been "should have been," not
"should of been."

Also, if you actually believe what I think you're trying to say, your
use of the word "that" actually makes it sound like you DON'T think he
should have been impeached long ago. I think you probably meant to say
"This is an outrage -- the usurper Obama should have been impeached long
ago."

Default How Could Our Leaders Do This to Our Troops? [absentee ballots]

Fox News has accused the Obama administration of not enforcing a
deadline for getting out military and overseas ballots, despite a lack
of evidence that that's really the case. Now, we've got evidence to
the contrary. Some states have an agreement with the DOJ to extend the
deadline to receive ballots from military service members and other
U.S. citizens living overseas. But something Obama has started is that
Military and overseas voters can also access their ballots online via
FVAP.gov.

Erin E St Pierre, Communications Specialist for the Federal Voting
Assistance Program (FVAP), told us that voters can get their ballot
from FVAP.gov, complete it and print it with just a few clicks. Here's
St. Pierre's explanation:

For example, choose who you are (military or overseas citizen, 1st
click), then choose your state from the map (2nd click), then choose
“get your ballot” (3rd click). Complete the ballot, print and sign it.
It takes less than ten minutes.
When completed, the package presented includes the ballot, envelope
template, and instructions on submitting the ballot (address, fax and
email for election official are included). Postage is even free when
using the envelope template (http://www.fvap.gov/resources/media/
returnenvelope.pdf), and the Military Postal System Agency has
provided free express mail and tracking for overseas military (go to
the MPO and ask for form Label 11-DOD). Also, FedEx has special
options for overseas citizens (https://www.overseasvotefoundation.org/
overseas/ExpressYourVote.htm). It’s that easy.


St. Pierre also noted, "Just because the state didn’t get the paper
ballots out in time, does not mean military and overseas citizens
cannot vote, they can... With elections less than two weeks away,
voters need to know they can still request and receive their ballots
within a matter of minutes. Absentee voting no longer takes weeks, but
minutes."

So don't buy Fox News' hype. Oh, and make sure to vote!
