This morning, regionally-syndicated talk show host, Jim Quinn (www.warroom.com), called for "all listeners within the sound of my voice" to caontact their elected respresentatives and the office of Pennsylvania Governer Ed Rendell, former Chairman of the DNC) to protest his stand against extending the deadline for receipt of military absentee ballots. At least two Pennsylvania counties withheld mailing of absentee ballots until last Monday, October 18th, and, given the time to process bulk mail through the APO and FPO systems, those ballots are not likely to be received until well after the election. Earlier this year, Governor Rendell went to extra lengths to ensure that prisoners in the state received absentee ballots, but now opposes an extension for receipt of military ballots. Quinn further called for a statewide movement to impeach Governor Rendell, should he not change his position and support a petition by the U.S. Department of Justice to extend the deadline. (Show archives available later this afternoon.)

I will be the first to sign the petition. He should have to explain to these soldiers face to face why they cannot vote for THEIR CIC.

[stevio]

I'll be the second.

Dear Governor Rendell,

I am a Captain in the Special Forces and a combat veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom. I was mobilized and deployed to Afghanistan for nearly a year in 2003.

I find it unforgivable that my fellow brothers and sisters in combat will be denied to the right to vote because of the delay to send out absentee ballots in time.

For the Pennsylvania’s April 27 primary, you successfully sought court orders to extend the deadline for absentee ballots from military families and overseas voters until May 17 which was three weeks after the election.

Please do the right thing again and give the soldiers who are fighting for our freedoms the right to vote in this election. They deserve every effort and this issue should be above politics.

Regards,

2banana

Expect alot of help

Toomey is chairing the Bush/Cheney campaign effort here..

He took the defeat to Spector with an enormous amount of grace and respect for the President. GOP owes Toomey big time for not creating a stink after the primary.

"It's a nice thought, but it ain't gonna happen."

Think California. And if that fails, think ant and rubber tree plant.

[Ladysmith]

Fine, then step aside while real Americans fight for our military.
