Thousands of troops surged to the Gulf this spring. Many requested their ballots back in January, from a stateside address. Now November has to find them at sea. The system rarely plans for a deployment nobody saw coming. https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #MilitaryVote
SCOTUS is about to decide whether a ballot postmarked by Election Day still counts if it lands after. 29 states give military and overseas voters that grace period. Membership is free. Your voice isn't optional. https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #MilitaryVote
"The enemy has a vote. You never plan an operation without considering the actions of the enemy." — Allen West, on the military planning maxim. The system that handles your ballot from a FOB hasn't applied it. https://t.co/vZ7rck7NVT #MilitaryVote
Tomorrow is primary day in 6 states: CA, IA, NJ, MT, NM, SD. If you're stationed overseas and your home state's on that list, your ballot has to be moving today. Know someone who served? Share this. https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #MilitaryVote
Government is supposed to answer to law, not to mood swings and raw power.
The minute law becomes selective, liberty gets a lot less secure.

Memorial Day was Monday. The country moved on. The folks on the wire, the boat, the FOB didn't. Neither did we. Every November the system tries to lose their vote. Your oath didn't come with an expiration date. https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #MilitaryVote
"No greater love than those who have taken an oath to support and defend our Constitution." — Allen West, on Memorial Day. The day after, the oath those names carried is still ours to honor. https://t.co/buLDrgIU0J #SupportAndDefend
Public language matters because once debate turns into intimidation or enforced conformity, constitutional ground rules start to disappear from view. A constitutional republic is not self-sustaining. Citizens have to remember the structure before they can defend it.
Today is Memorial Day. It started in 1868 when Union veterans decided the graves needed flowers. 158 years later, same job. The silence at noon. The names. We remember.

Liberty demands citizens who know what they are defending.
The Constitution is not self-enforcing. It endures when Americans insist on principle, responsibility, and courage.
Government works best when Americans remember its limits.
Our rights do not come from politicians, agencies, or temporary majorities. A constitutional republic only survives when citizens keep that distinction clear.

Memorial Day weekend is for the names on the stones. Boy Scouts placing flags. Vets at the gate before it's unlocked. Families walking rows they haven't seen since last May. Active duty? Veteran? Supporter? There's a place for you → https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #SupportAndDefend
In 14 days: troops deploy to Poland, deployment gets canceled mid-move, then yesterday 5,000 more ordered in. November ballots still have to find these soldiers somewhere. Know someone who served? Share this with them. https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #MilitaryVote
Memorial Day is Monday. One day to honor those who didn't make it home. CSD spends the other 364 making sure the ones who did can still vote, wherever they're stationed. Membership is free. Your voice isn't optional. https://t.co/LYChEhHE34 #MilitaryVote

According to the Federal Voting Assistance Program - 64% of all active-duty military expressed an interest in voting in the 2024 presidential election, yet only 45% casted their votes.
