Hi Virgil,
A soldier who votes against President Bush in November, many find himself
locked away as an enemy combatant a year from now, should President Bush
be elected a second term.
The moderate vote the Bush convention is seeking today, may find itself
locked in prison a year from today for having an abortion or for being
gay. I couldn't be more serious. The Republican Right has become way
extreme, and will without doubt become even more so with increased powers.
Regards,
LelandJ

Come on leland, you just said in a previous post that you were in the

I'm sure that they are probably using some type of html form to pick and
choose with a submit button.
It really is no different then them filling out a form and mailing it, and a
lot quicker.
NOW, if there are no checks and balances on this end to verify no
duplication of ssn's, etc., then I could possibly see a problem, but without
understanding the complete path from beginning to end, NONE of us are in a
position to say what is happening.

Hi Rich,
Well, if the soldiers are forwarding thier vote to President Bush, their
commander and chief, in a non-secret ballot, you don't see a problem of
intemidation? HaHaahaa

I saw this on Slashdot. I still don't see the difference between email and
fax (They can already fax their ballots).
