Military Protects Americans That Socialist Democrats Don’t Won’t Them To Vote

 

The Military Voting Protection Act of 2009, S.1026, has been introduced by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX).  The bill amends the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act of 1986 (UOCAVA) and ensures that the ballots are delivered to the appropriate state election officials by the jurisdiction’s statutory deadline,  The bill would apply to all regularly scheduled general elections for federal office, beginning with the November 2010 election.

Senator Cornyn said, “In the November 2006 election, the most recent election for which we have official data, just 5.5 percent of eligible military and overseas citizen voters were able to cast a ballot. This is a national disgrace. It is imperative that we put a system in place to ensure our troops serving abroad can participate in the democratic process. It is because of their sacrifice that every American has the right to vote in free and fair elections; the least we can do is guarantee them these same civil rights. The MVP Act is intended to do just that. It would dramatically improve the process for our men and women in uniform to help ensure every one of their votes matters.”

Senator Inhofe (R-OK) a co-sponsor had this to say.  “While our troops overseas are in harm’s way defending the freedoms that we enjoy every day, they continue to face significant obstacles when trying to participate in one of our most fundamental freedoms – the right to vote.  Data collected from the 2004 and 2006 elections showed that efforts made by our deployed troops to exercise their right to vote were hindered by inadequate processes, slow delivery methods, and countless other absentee voting procedures that are often confusing and vary with each state.

“Their votes are important to me and to the rest of the American people who continue to benefit from their bravery and selfless service. This bill will go far to fix this insult to our troops. Supporting this bill is both a privilege and a personal obligation. We must ensure these brave Americans, who are serving overseas to protect our way of life, have their voice counted in choosing their elected leaders.”

Senator Inhofe said it is important for our military personnel to have the ability to cast their vote.  We have seen in the past the socialist Democrats put roadblocks in our patriotic military’s path.  The despicable socialist Al Gore and his henchmen tried to change the Florida vote by attempting to block the military absentee ballots.

America we need to protect these patriotic men and women’s right to vote.  Let Congress know you support The Military Voting Protection Act of 2009, S.1026.  Don’t let the socialist Democrats stop our military from voting.
