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 Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act Overview

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."

High Speed Rail + Obama = Epic Fail

I was originally going to do this post on my own blog - but - just didn't have room for it.

As you all heard - Obama and Biden were in Tampa this past week to announce they were giving Florida $1.25 Billion to put in a high speed rail system that runs between Tampa and Orlando. This is a major major clusterfuck of a mistake and will end up being a huge boondoggle. This may as well be the train to nowhere.

I am a Tampa area resident. As I type this, I am currently on a weekend vacation in Disney in Orlando. I know the route this train will take. Oh - did I happen to mention that from downtown Tampa to downtown Orlando is only 80 miles? What the hell do we need a 200mph high speed bullet train for that short distance? We don't.

Last November - the people of Florida voted against this bullet train. This has been on our ballets every election cycle since 2000 and every election - we the people keep saying no. However, this year - since those idiots passed that stimulus spending bill - our RINO Governor urged our state senate to pass it anyway so he can get that stimulus spending bill money. I'm going to lay this out very clearly why this is just another epic fail for Obama - and will be an epic fail for Crist come November.

1. We don't have any commerce between Tampa and Orlando

2. The people of Florida have said NO to this for well over a decade

3. There will be very few riders on this train. Essentially, the only people who might actually use it are vacationers from Tampa to Disney. There aren't that many of us.

4. After 5 years of federal government subsidies to cover the losses (Amtrak sound familiar?) The people in the state of Florida will be responsible - our taxes are going to skyrocket.

5. Did I mention there is only 80 miles of track needed?

6. The average speed of a high speed rail train is only 150 mph to begin with. So - with having a set departure time and all the check in time and having to go slow to leave the city and then slow down to enter the destination city then all the deboarding etc (and they added stops in between)...you can actually get from one city to another in less time. The speed limit on the I-4 corridor is 75mph. Most of us drive it doing 90mph+.

7. People who live in Tampa don't work in Orlando and vice versa. This is not expected to change with this train either.

All-in-all this is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars AGAIN. This will guarantee that Crist won't be elected as Senator this November - and - when he loses that - he won't win reelection for Governor either. This boondoggle train to nowhere can and will be used against Obama in 2012 since this train isn't expected to be operational until 2014 - yet - the taxpayer outlay begins immediately.

While there might be 1000 jobs created to build this thing - once it's complete - you will need - what? 2 or 3 people on each end to work the gates. 2 or 3 janitors on each end to clean the terminals and 2 or 3 engineers to run the train and maybe a crew of 5 or 10 maintenance personnel on each end to keep it up and running. Since its such a short ride you won't need any cabin personnel. This is hardly a job creating project. When I think of jobs - I think long term. Long term full time jobs on this will be less than 50 for sure - all being government taxpayer supported employees.

The only people who make money on this are the developers, contractors, and engine builders. In the meantime American taxpayers, and especially the Florida taxpayers, all lose.

Reid’s racist remarks are just the frosting on this cake of corruption

clipped from www.timesheraldonline.com

It is way past time for Sen. Harry Reid to hang it up and get out. The racist remarks he made are just the frosting on this cake of corruption in this new administration.

No one in either party should be allowed in office if they speak this trash against the President of the United States.

If Sen. Reid can get away with his hurtful feelings, then why can't Michael Richards of "Seinfeld"? Remember that?

Bow out, Sen. Reid. You've made enough money off the people's dime.

Time for Reid to go

This is just a test First post

Michele Bachmann’s Call to Arms

In case you haven't heard - those idiots in D.C. are going to try and ram this piece of shit so-called "health reform" bill down the throats of the American people this coming Friday (11/6/09). The polls show that more than 55% of the public oppose this bill while only 35% approve - (as a side note - what's up with that other 10% - don't they even give a shit or what?).

As a result, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has put out a call to arms - so to speak - asking for as many people as possibly can to show up at the steps of the Capitol Building on Thursday 11/5/09.

This is from her website:

WHAT:            Health Care “House Call” on Washington Press Conference

WHO:              Republican Members of Congress
Americans concerned about our health care future
Other Guests - TBA

WHEN:            Thursday, November 5, 2009 from 12:00-1

WHERE:          East Front Steps of the U.S. Capitol (House Side)

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann released the following statement as the House of Representatives approaches a vote on the Democrats’ health care reform proposal:

“The American people spoke loud and clear at town hall meetings all across the country throughout August. But, it would appear that Congress didn’t hear a word they had to say. The Democrats’ latest health care proposal unveiled late last week may be packaged a little differently, but it’s the same old bad bill as before.

“This bill is a trillion-dollar, budget-busting, government takeover of our health care system. It will put bureaucrats between people and their health care. It will lead to rationed care, hurting the most vulnerable amongst us first. It will break the bank, leaving our children to pay the bill with diminished freedoms and dwindling prosperity.

“The American people need to stand up again and make sure that Congress hears them this time. Speaker Pelosi is putting her bill on fast track to a vote – and it remains to be seen if the House will even get a chance to vote on the commonsense Republican alternatives. The people need to make a House Call on Washington this week and tell their Representatives to vote no to a government take-over of one-fifth of our economy. This is gangster government at its worst.

“I urge all Americans to come to Washington this Thursday. Come and meet up with your Representative and tell them that you want to control your health care.”

If you can make it - please be there. As an added bonus, Mark Levin will be joining her. The idea is that once the rally is over, everyone who has shown up is to go and visit their representative face-to-face and let them know we don't want this socialist piece of shit bill foisted upon Americans. Apparently, our representatives forgot what it means to be true blue American. They would rather we all be a friendly shade of pinko socialists.

If you can't be there - please take the time out AGAIN to call your representatives and let them know that if they vote for it - you will be voting their ass out of office the next time they come up for re-election.
