| I read a great article that had some shocking statistics about how little the average American knows about government, politics, and American history. I wish I still had it. I'm going to try to get another copy of it because it would be a great side topic. Will get back to you all later on this one. But it don't take much to get me by So just booze me up and get me high Ween | |||||||||||||||||||||

I have served in the military, and had to request my absentee ballot, I work as a travelling lab technician, and have had to register to vote in several different states, especially when I find myself having lived there for several years. Since 1988 I have not missed a single election, not one, why, because I take the time necessary to ensure that I can vote. I have worked during elections as a judge, and a registrar. Time and time again, people show up to vote, and don't even know where they were suppose to go. Then this wonderful idea about provisional ballots came along. If someone shows up at the wrong place, rather than sending them to the right place, we fill out the form, allow them to vote, and then place the ballot with form in the designated box. Afterwards, the clerks, determine whether the person was eligible to vote or not. Often times the people filling out this simple forms, left information blank, the clerks did their best to determine who the person was, often times, that job was nearly impossible because of the commonality of certain names. I've grown tired of hearing how Bush stole the 2000 election. I just find it rather amazing the nerve of the Democrats to try and lecture Republicans on voter fraud, when for so long they themselves have been the masters of voter fraud. dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Corporations represent greed over empathy. Unions stand up for the rights of the common worker.
