GOOD ENOUGH TO DIE BUT NOT TO VOTE


Already two thousand of our soldiers have died in the war in Afghanistan.
But for the man in the Oval Office, our soldiers are good enough to die in wars but not good enough to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

This is due to the Pentagon not providing our soldiers with adequate voter-assistance and access. In contrast, civilian voters — including non-English speakers (and many an illegal alien!) — enjoy plentiful voter-assistance through motor-vehicle offices and social-service agencies.
Given the fact that a recent Military Times poll found that members of active and reserve military overwhelmingly favor Romney over Obama 2 to 1 — not because of any particular military issues such as the Afghan war, but because of the economy and the candidates’ character.

(By the way, like active duty military, by the way, veterans favor Romney over Obama by 20% nationwide and especially in the critical battleground states.)
