#293 (8/16) - Say What!- Obama Lawsuit Against Military Voting Rights; Chicago Politics

[FYI - My GENday is Sept. 19th. When is YOURS?]

Oppose Obama’s Lawsuit Against Military Voting Rights
Sign the American Center for Law and Justivce petition at: http://aclj.org/us-constitution/oppose-obama-lawsuit-against-military-voting-rights

The Obama Re-election campaign has filed a lawsuit to overturn a law that gives members of the military a few extra days to vote early. Men and women in the military sacrifice dearly for our country and they deserve and have the lawful and constitutional right to additional consideration.

Stand with the U.S. military. The ACLJ [American Center for Law and Justice] will file an amicus brief backing the Ohio law - giving our military men and women an opportunity to cast their ballots in a constitutional manner. Add your name to our brief defending the voting rights of the U.S. military today.

This challenge by the Obama Re-election Campaign is not only unconstitutional, but it is also offensive to millions of Americans. Our military heroes deserve to have this lawful courtesy extended to them - not more roadblocks making it even more difficult for them to participate in the election.
[Those in the military are willing to give their lives to protect our right to vote -among other cherished freedoms. And we want to restrict their ability to exercise that same freedom. Unbelieveable!- Stan]

Classic Chicago Politics At Work - from alert@grassrootsaction.com; Tuesday, August 14

Yesterday in Iowa during a Paul Ryan campaign stop, pro-Obama thugs disrupted his speech and attempted to storm the stage. The hecklers interrupted Ryan throughout his speech and then at one point began to climb the stage. Even liberal commentator Mark Halperin admitted these protesters were likely Democrats "on duty" -- meaning they were dispatched to disrupt the event.[Can you imagine the outcry from the mainstream press if a conservative activist did such a thing?(Of course, I can't recall that ever happeningl.) ALL conservatives would be branded as "violent extremeists" for days. This incident was hardly given mention. Naturally. - Stan]

This is classic Chicago politics. While Obama says nice words about Ryan, dispatched activists make it their goal to use any means to disrupt Romney and Ryan events. The goal is a massive “smear and fear” campaign to frighten senior citizens. It's the same warped mentality that drove the "occupiers" -- disorder and disruption to achieve their goals. And the liberal pundits are piling on. Newsweek’s feminist commentator, Eleanor Clift, wrote that Ryan is a “nightmare for seniors who’ve earned their Medicare benefits.”

Hope and Change of 2008 has become Fear and Intimidation of 2012.
