Jason Kander – Serving
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jason Kander today released his campaign’s second ad of the general election titled Serving, which contrast the views of Jason and his opponent on military voting.
The ad, which can be viewed at www.jasonkander.com/serving, highlights how Kander was able to vote an absentee ballot during the general election in Nov. 2006 despite serving his country in Afghanistan at the time. The ad points out that absentee voting by mail would be prohibited under a bill Shane Schoeller sponsored this past legislative session.
According to the St. Louis Beacon, Schoeller’s bill, HB 2109, would have made Missouri the only state in the country where mailing in an absentee ballot would be prohibited. Kander led the bipartisan opposition that killed the bill during the legislative session because it would have taken away one of the only ways Missouri military members stationed overseas or in other states have to vote.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch noted that during the 2008 presidential election 270,000 Missourians mailed in an absentee ballot, including 11,000 military voters.
“I spent election day 2006 in Kabul, Afghanistan surrounded by some of this countries most dedicated men and women,” Kander said. “Like many of my fellow soldiers, I was able to vote by mailing in an absentee ballot. Shane Schoeller wants totake away the right for soldiers like those Iserved with to mail in an absentee ballot. While Shane Schoeller wants to make it next to impossible for soldiers stationed outside Missouri to vote, I’ll work to make it easier for these brave men and women to vote. I believe that our next Secretary of State needs to ensure that those who fight to protect our Democracy can participate in it as well.
During the legislative session Kander led the bipartisan opposition to Schoeller’s bill. Republican Senators Bill Stouffer (R-Napton) and Scott Rupp (R-St. Charles) announced their opposition to Schoeller’s bill, with Sen. Rupp saying “you saw national veterans’ groups coming out and saying this is bad legislation because its going to keep the military overseas from being able to vote.”

So tired of hearing about this guy. Everyone that really knows him seems to dislike him and he has no chance of winning.
ReplyDeleteWTF are you talking about? He has a chance of winning. KC Star poll said he is only losing by 3 points. This ad could change that.
ReplyDeleteSure likes to talk about his soldiering experience, don't he?
ReplyDeleteOne guy is running on his experience as an Army lawyer in Afghanistan and the other is running against Obamacare and they're both running for Missouri Secretary of State.
ReplyDeleteWhat any of this has to do with this office is a real mystery, but one of them will win, so who knows.
Oh, and it won't be Kander.
What did he really do there?
ReplyDeleteAw a little GI Jason.
ReplyDeleteJason will win.
ReplyDeleteVets don't forget.
Vets vote Republican by and large.
ReplyDeleteKander will have to come back to KC with his tail tucked between his legs. It's not that he's a bad person. He is just too ambitious or the people who advise him are too ambitious.
Kandahar-Kander was in the protected green zone for 6 months as an attorney. My kid is infantry, carrying a pack of mortar rounds weighing 50lbs PLUS his own gear. My son has been in Afghanistan for a total of 2 years in FOBs. He was also a year in Iraq. My son does not show-dog like Kandahar-Kander. My son is a soldier.
ReplyDeleteNone the less I am FORCED to vote for this shit Kandahar-Kander. The other guy is far worse. How is that possible?
I'd fuck Kander's wife in her ass....then cum all over her face and tits.
ReplyDeletewas Kander really in Afghanistan? Was he full regular Army? Did he do a reserve stint?
ReplyDeleteprops to him for joining even if it was for the Montgomery Bill, but he needs to be FULLY honest about his stint in.
I served with Captain Kander in MO Guard. He only did 60 days in Afghanistan as an embassy officer. The rest of us had to do 18 months.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for Kander is he wasn't married to that harpie Diana. Or had anything to do with her nastiness.
ReplyDeleteKander's photo of him with an assault weapon is a farce, and I'm certain he has never served in front-line combat as a guard attorney - certainly never been shot at. So misleading and obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteThin Margin, I hope we declare 'victory' soon, so your son can come home. This is insane.
ReplyDeleteWill Kander get served? Wait and see.
