Dear America,
As you well know, our military folks are loosing their right to vote in droves this election.

They're ballots are being thrown in the garbage and turned away.
These men and women are putting their lives on the line to preserve our right to live in security and not in fear.
Please, consider this: If standing in a three or four hour long line seems too difficult, too uncomfortable for them, imagine standing in 120' heat in full "battle rattle" with a 40 pound rucksack for hours on end. Driving to the voting booth is tricky in heavy traffic, finding parking - almost impossible. But our troops risk their lives every time they drive down a road and have to constantly deal with the very real threat of roadside bombs.
So please, if you're considering staying home because you don't think your vote will matter, if it's just too damned inconvenient, then give your vote to a service member. Stand in line for him. Bring comfortable clothes, good shoes, a good book and a couple of bottles of water and endure the traffic for him.
Our guys work hard and sacrifice much to protect you. Please give up one evening to protect them from the democrats. Please, pick their votes out of the garbage cans.
INDEED.
I CONCUR wholesale.
Thx.
Bless your husband and your family and thank y’all for your service to our country!
Now THIS is a worthy vanity. Well written and pertinent.
Thank you, Marie.
Thank you, but I *wish* it were well written! (I noticed that I misused “they’re” and made a few other gramatical errors. I swear that I proofread this before I posted! lol!)
Feel free to correct the dumb errors and email it to anyone you know.
BUMP !!!
Thanks and God bless to your husband, you and your family for your service to our country!!!!
Even though it is not always evident, you have a grateful nation behind you. We will do everything in our power to keep it that way.
Thank you and God bless your husband, you and your family for your service to our country. Past or present matters not, we are grateful!

Dunno. The folks across the street from me have a son in Iraq and an Obama/Biden sign on the lawn. Freaks me out every time I see it.

In my opinion, a valid vanity thread at this point...
