Tuesday, April 15 2008 is the deadline to apply for civilian Absentee Ballots.

An important note from the Luzerne County BOE website regarding applications for Absentee Ballots:

A voter may appear in person at the Bureau of Elections any time prior to the deadline to make application for a civilian absentee ballot. Voters may also hand deliver applications on behalf of other voters in the same way they may deliver an application to register to vote. However, the ballot itself may only be delivered to the voter himself or herself. In other words, if you are the applicant, you will receive only your ballot and not that of anyone else.

Sixth District Republican Committee Members:

The next Committee Meeting will be at Colarusso's Pizza and Subs, 300 Wilkes Barre Township Boulevard, 7:00 PM Tuesday, April 15, 2008.

We are really in need of Republican Committee People. Many wards are under-represented. Interested Republicans can write themselves in on the ballot on April 22. Let's rebuild our party one brick...one ward...at a time. Luzerne County can no longer afford one-party rule.

Check out the Luzerne County Bureau of Elections web site for any other election information you might need. There is a link to the BOE right here at our site...

Friday, April 18, 2008 is the deadline to receive voted civilian Absentee Ballots.

Here are more important notes from the BOE website on submitting voted Absentee Ballots:

All voted absentee ballots; except those received from military and overseas electors, and emergency absentee electors, as defined by law, must be received by the county board of elections by 5:00 PM on this day to be counted.

A voter may appear in person at the Bureau of Elections any time prior to the deadline to deposit their own voted ballot into a ballot box for such purpose.

On the day of the deadline, voters also have the option of placing the proper postage upon the voted absentee ballot and giving it to the postal worker at the public counter of the main branch of the post office on South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre. The postal worker will hand cancel the postage and hold it for a representative of the Bureau of Elections who will collect those voted absentee ballots for processing at 4:45 PM.

Last day for County Boards of Elections to receive voted military and overseas absentee ballots (must be postmarked no later than April 21)

Dear Republicans and Friends

Sunday, May 4th, Voice of the People USA will be holding an anti-illegal immigration and pro-free speech rally at noon.

We will be in the Cee Kay Auto parking lot in Wilkes-Barre (501 S. Main Street).

We are having it there because Wilkes-Barre wanted to charge us $200 to have it on Public Square.

-Renee Butts
Voice of the People, USA

(Editor's Note from Jimbo: Paying to rally for free speech on Public Square is an outrage. I wonder how this would have gone over in Boston in the 1770's??)
