Please Help Make Sure All Of Our Deployed Troops Votes Are Counted – Here Is What You Can Do

Many of our deployed troops votes were not counted in the last election. This is nothing new, it was just more obvious the last election. It has been going on since the 90's that I am aware of and maybe before then.

Some states, districts worked underhandedly to make sure our deployed troops didn't vote by making sure they didn't send the ballots out in time to ensure they wouldn't be received in time. Well we all remember much of the crimes committed last election. But this has been going on for a long time.

I've been paying attention to our (We The People) pattern of dealing with this.
Right before the elections, we talk about it, Then it's election time. Then after the election, we learn nothing has changed EXCEPT the marine corps got their voting system down pat. I didn't hear of any voting problems with deployed marines, but I don't know every marine so....

After the last election we of course again learned many of our deployed troops votes were not counted. This was all due to very underhanded tactics of many.

Is it honorable that we allow this to continue to happen? These are the very men and women who take their oath seriously. They are the very men and women who honor service, integrity and sacrifice for our Republic and our Constitution. Many of these have sacrificed much for us, limbs, blood and their lives.

I find it down right wrong and obnoxious that we the people allow our deployed troops votes to not be counted! I find it down right wrong and obnoxious that our politicians are so criminal that the likes of Nancy Pelosi bused in illegals to vote for her....and Pelosi was not the only one known (for a fact) that pulled that crap.

Think about that! Illegals bused in to vote and our deployed troops votes were not counted.

After the election we learned again many of our deployed troops votes were not counted. We got angry and raised our voices for about a month - and then again as previously done - We forgot about it and moved on to the next battle.

Now we have the elections coming up in Nov. We are making our plans, etc. I say this time we get ahead of this criminal action and make sure our troops votes are counted.

I need people in all your state districts to research and find out if any of your districts did the unthinkable to our deployed troops. Also talk to the veterans, ask if their vote counted, if not, ask what excuses were handed down to them.

Also I, no, our deployed troops need people to make sure in all districts you let the people in charge of voting know you and others are aware of this and are watching to make sure it doesn't happen again. Then follow through.

Please contact me and let me know who of you have chosen to take care of this important work. Our Troops have our backs, who has theirs?

Here is a link that will be helpful for you and for you to get to our deployed troops.

The Expat Factor: Making Overseas Votes Count

There are as many as 6 million Americans living abroad, with an estimated 4.9 million of voting age. But although overseas Americans have had the right to vote for decades, the process has historically been riddled with imperfections. According to Stephen Ansolabehere, a political scientist at Harvard University who specializes in elections, overseas military and government personnel are the "single most likely group to experience problems with registering and voting."

Volunteers Place 16,000 Wreaths at Arlington

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Arlington Wreath Project, an unofficial national tradition, prompted about 6,000 volunteers to wake up extra early this morning to help place 16,000 wreaths on graves at Arlington National Cemetery.

"It's really nice that America still remembers our troops," said Nikki Bunting, the widow of Army Capt. Brian Bunting, who died in Afghanistan in February 2009. She visited her husband's grave with their children, 2-year-old Connor and 5-week-old Cooper.

"It's a sad sight, but it's really beautiful. It reminds us that people care," she said.

Morrill Worcester, president of Maine-based Worcester Wreath Company, started the tradition in 1992, although the seeds for the idea had been planted 30 years earlier. The cemetery's hallowed ground first impressed Worcester in 1962, when the 12-year-old Bangor [Maine] Daily News paper boy had won a paper-sponsored contest and a trip to Washington.

"It struck me and I just never forgot it," Worcester recently said about the cemetery. "It was just such a big place and the stones are all nice and straight. I saw the Tomb of the Unknown [Soldier] and the changing of the guard."

Fast forward to 1992, when Worcester discovered his company had 5,000 surplus wreaths near the end of the season. He made arrangements to place the wreaths on graves at Arlington National Cemetery.

wr"The first 13 or 14 years of the Arlington Wreath Project I just did it because I wanted to do it and it was kind of a private thing," Worcester said. "We didn't want any publicity or anything else. We just did it."

For more than a decade, he sponsored the Arlington Wreath Project, with the mission to "Remember, Honor, and Teach," and managed to keep it small and relatively anonymous.

That is until 2005 when an Air Force photographer happened to capture an image of the annual honor. "Things just totally changed," Worcester said.

After the photo hit the Internet and made its way around the world, the tradition grew exponentially. This year 151,000 wreaths were placed in more than 400 cemeteries across the country by 60,000 volunteers as part of Wreaths Across America Day. Individuals and companies sponsored all but 25,000 of the 151,000 wreaths              - continued -

DEBKAfile's military and intelligence sources report that a mammoth arms train has been running to Hizballah for months via Egypt. They identify the ship which offloaded the arms shipment at the Egyptian port of Damietta, where it was picked up by the Francop as the Iranian Visea, which is now on its way from the British port of Felixtowe to Hamburg, Germany. An international operation is afoot to apprehend the Iranian ship as of Wednesday, Nov. 4, when Israeli naval forces commandeered the Francop with hundreds of tons of Iranian arms bound for the Lebanese Hizballah near Cyprus. The arms were unloaded at the Israeli naval base at Ashdod port.

In a significant shift, the U.S. military is assisting the Pakistani army in its offensive on militants in South Waziristan
by providing valuable surveillance video and intelligence gleaned from CIA-operated unmanned aircraft, according to a report
in The Los Angeles Times.
Recent attacks on Pakistan have rattled the government, likely swaying officials to accept American help in striking
the militant stronghold.
