.....about the disenfranchisement of our troops' votes,
REGARDLESS of their party affiliation!
JD
Hayworth, our radio host at KFYI, who is a former congressman, received
a call on his show last night from a guy here in Phoenix named Tim.
Tim is a veteran of Desert Storm, and currently has 2 nephews serving
in Iraq. It appears that, once again, our troops will not all receive
their ballots in time to vote, if at all. Those bleeding heart
liberals in my circle of family and friends ESPECIALLY should be
outraged about this, and demand that it be corrected ASAP.
But what angered me most was the interview JD Hayworth had with
Congressman Trent Franks, who oversees the Armed Forces Committee.
Congressman Franks stated that he had put forth a bill recently that
would ensure these honorable men and women who are fighting for our
right to vote are not excluded from voting in this critical election.
A simple bill to ensure their rights, which NOBODY who is a true
American would have a problem with.
HOWEVER, none other than the infamous NANCY PELOSI REFUSED to
bring it to a vote! Just a vote, yay or nay, and she JUST REFUSED!
PERIOD!
Now THIS should cause great concern for everyone,
because if she has the power and gall to do this to our brave men and
women (simply because the military vote typically leans Republican),
then what will stop her from keeping OUR rights from us!
I'm asking every one of you to slam her inboxes via email,
telephone, US Postal mail MULTIPLE TIMES! And please send this out to
everyone you know and ask them to do the same!
I am telling you,
as the daughter of a military family who has had loved ones who have
paid the ultimate sacrifice, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of
our military brothers and sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and
daughters, and the only right thing to do is to DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THIS! Since the mainstream media has made it quite clear that they
won't bother, we need to have a grassroots effort in order to be
effective ~ there is strength in numbers! I also will forward this to
every media outlet I can possibly find, and encourage you to please do
the same.

Thank
you to all who will help me with this ~ and for those who choose to
delete me or send me angry messages, I hope and pray you'll think about
what I've said when you exercise your right to simply drive to the
polls on Tuesday in the safety and comfort we take for granted here to
cast your ballot, without the threat of violent repercussions, or
certain death or torture, that our brothers and sisters in other
countries, especially Iraq, have had to endure all these years. They
are truly thanking us and our military that they can now enjoy such a
freedom that we've never had to do without in the United States in my
lifetime!
