The Scaredicrats in Congress won’t allow a vote on something
that all of the Secretaries of State support
I have written a bunch about
the
problems that our soldiers have voting. Currently, as it
stands, House Democrats, urged on by the unions, are blocking a
bill that would increase the likelihood of the votes of our
soldiers actually counting.
Last week
Bob Novak also wrote about this issue. Today there was a
significant advance. The National Association of Secretaries of
State (NASS), the analog of the National Governors Association,
endorsed Kevin McCarthy’s Military
Protection Voting Act of 2008, HR 5673.
None of the Democrats at NASS dared to vote no this, but House
and Senate Democratic leaders refuse to bring this to a vote. This
is a typical case of the Democrats putting their special interests
ahead of the troops.
This was pushed by Chris
Nelson, Secretary of State of North Dakota, and Sam Reed, Secretary of State of
Washington.
