Hello everyone,
I almost thought I should post yesterday...with it being Election Day and all, then thought better of it. Mostly due to the fact I was at work when I heard that Incumbent President Obama had eclipsed the 270 Electoral votes needed to secure the office. Later, it went up to 303 with 29 Electoral Voters undecided.
In other news, I sent an email last week to the VFW Headquarters asking if they could endorse me for President in 2016. After all, I am a Lifetime Member ( in good standing ) of the VFW and a four time Deployed Veteran. What more could they want in a candidate?
One minor problem. The Congressional Charter ( that basically established the VFW ) prohibits them from supporting any candidate. I can see the logic in that....now. With the millions of current Veterans, and many million past Veterans, I would be a shoe in for the Presidency in 2016....maybe. Still have the College of Electorates to deal with...ugh.
I do have a question for my readers out of State ( meaning Washington State ); where we still have to mail in ballots. 'X' marks the spot and no "hanging chads" and such. We still have the option to "write in a candidate". Do those of you with the new finagled digital voting machines have that option available? I imagine they would have to since most 3rd, 4th and 5th ( and so on ) party members are rarely mentioned in the news, unless they are being arrested trying to "gate crash " a debate.
With that being said.....
And all through the House, arose such a clamor
As Seats became vacant because Voting does Matter.
Have a great week all!

We have digital voting, and yes, we are able to write in a vote.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane. Maybe I will will post a blog about the voting machines since they made National headlines when a Romney kid bought the company that makes them. Additionally, I am going to post about an MRE ( Meal Ready to Eat ) to determine what makes the foil wrapped sugar cookies patriotic...since that is how they are labeled.
