| #5 Certainly an exemplary record for one who would be our next CIC. Pathetic, but I'm not surprised. Great info....... |

| #3 "Help new Enl regist to vote (3-17-93) No" This reminds me: is anyone going to be minding the store this November when Kerry sends out armies of lawyers to try and disqualify every absentee military ballot they can lay their filthy hands on? Al Gore did that in 2000, and somebody ought to be watching out for the same thing this time. |
