Class Action Lawsuit Being Filed on
Behalf of Military Personnel Who Didn't Get to Vote
For Immediate Release
16 November 2000
KeepAndBearArms.com -- The widespread
failure of various governmental agencies to provide absentee ballots to U.S.
military personnel in time to cast their votes is resulting in a class action
lawsuit. KeepAndBearArms.com has formed an alliance with The Law Firm of
Campbell & Jones of San Antonio, Texas on behalf of military servicemen and
women worldwide. Our primary role in this lawsuit is to assist in the process of
connecting military members with the law firm filing the lawsuit.
Because this lawsuit is being filed in
Texas, our first order of business is to call for military personnel whose
records show their home state as Texas. Once we have several confirmed Texans
who agree to join lawsuit as plaintiffs, military members showing residence in
any state will be invited to join the lawsuit.
This afternoon, at the announcement of this
class action lawsuit, KeepAndBearArms.com Founder and Director, Angel Shamaya
said, "It is time to call attention to the fact that U.S. military members
have not been allowed to vote for their President. It is time to hold the
appropriate people accountable for their shortcomings, and it is time to produce
a long-term, successful solution to this problem. If any one group of people
should have complete access to voting for the Commander in Chief of the U.S.
Armed Forces, it is most certainly our own military members. The fact that
members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines didn't get to vote in the 2000
Presidential election is an embarrassing blemish upon the American political
process and the good will of our nation's defenders. We praise The Law Firm of
Campbell & Jones of San Antonio for taking a proactive stand for the rights
of the people who leave their families and their lives behind in order to
protect American interests at home and abroad."
