I joined the Blue Star Families for Obama online group to show that as a military wife, I am for Sen. Obama in this election. Check out the website at www.bsf4o.com to get the facts and learn more.

I have had a few friends text me over the past few days (I think it was just leading up to the debate that was last night) talking about Sen McCain and Sen Obama’s policies and where they stand. One of the things that was said was along the lines of “isn’t everyone in the military for Sen McCain?” – to which I said no that’s not true, here’s why and here is a website you can visit for more information. My friends are not surprised as to who I am voting for, I am not a one issue (or even just a few issues) voter, never have been and plan on never being. I think as a voter you need to look at many issues and do the research and vote for the candidate that best supports you. Thanks to absentee voting, I voted already – I hope you get out there and vote too.
I tire of the assumptions people make about military people and military spouses, too, especially in reference to politics. I only wish so many military folks didn’t prove the stereotype correct.
I joined Blue Star Families for Obama, too, but declined to get more involved because I just don’t like identifying myself through my husband’s job. Also? I’m a lefty whether we’re involved in an illegal war that’s screwing the military or not. I’ve never voted based solely on military issues before, and being a military spouse hasn’t changed that.
I’ve been good about donating and pulling my weight with the campaign, but as Kimba, not Kimba the military spouse. I mean, I do think it’s important to point out that military spouses/families aren’t always default Republicans, but this movement feels temporary to me, and based on a single issue. You know what I mean?

I saw this a couple weeks back and thought it was very interesting. It made me with my mom had a computer. She couldn’t believe it when I told her that people who were involved in the military would vote any other way then republican.
Thanks for putting it on your blog and sharing it.

I too joined BSF4O. I felt great. its a weird place being a military wife. we’re not completely civilian but we’re definitely not military.
I was happy to show this to people who think that military=republican no matter what.
