Note: Walking the dog on the road in early March, new mud shoes cinched, ear muffs only - no hat - I hear the distant thrumming of a wild, deep-throated something or other, which, I have now come to realize, walks along with me, every time I wear my new corduroy pants. I think it was one of those rarely-acknowledged "pin-wale geese".

On Thursday, February 24th,2011, the NH House Election Law Committee will decide on a bill that prevents students, military personnel, and other Federal Employees stationed in NH from voting in the New Hampshire towns where they live. My "additional comments" to the letter I signed...

The option of travelling to one's legal residence (expensive and time consuming), or voting by absentee ballot(with no certainty it will be counted), are not adequate to ensure that all voting age citizens may exercise the right to do so. Being able to register, even temporarily, and vote in the town where they are compelled to live, should be a given. Students, military members, and company placed employees need to be able to vote without any greater interruption of their livelihoods, academic success, or duties than John Q. Local undergoes.

Anything else is unjust, unlawful and totally unscrupulous.
