Request Absentee Ballot
Dear Editor,
Just when one might think that Donald Trump’s behavior can’t get worse, it does. Now the president and some of his Republican cohorts are undermining and weakening the US Postal Service with the goal of causing late delivery of absentee ballots to boards of election so that they can’t be counted. To this end, Trump has ordered the postmaster general to have mail sorting machines removed and discarded. Postal workers have reported that they have seen them thrown into dumpsters; and photos confirm that mail drop boxes in several states are being unbolted and trucked away. Further, the president is blocking needed funding for the Postal Service to stay in operation. All this because he’s desperate to be reelected and is trailing Joe Biden significantly in recent polling.
What can be done to insure a fair election with all mail in votes counted?
- Request an Absentee Ballot Request form to be mailed to you by calling the Guilford County Board of Elections at (336) 641-3836; or you can download the form from their website. It’s urgent that this been done sooner than later, since the Board of Elections will begin mailing out ballots on Sept. 4. (No excuse is needed to vote absentee.)
- Once you receive the ballot, complete and return it well before the Nov. 3 election to insure that it will be counted. (The signature of one witness is required.)
- Be an informed voter by visiting the League of Women Voters’ website (www.vote411.org) for non-partisan information on candidates.
This election will determine the future of our country for years to come. Voting is a must.

We The People Are Standing Up
Dear Editor,
We, the people on the right, the conservatives, and the believers in the republic/democratic/constitutional form of government, people who stand for the United States of America with and without its faults are finally starting to stand up against the dark forces, both inside and outside of government on every level. We are starting to see people actually act on that great line from the movie “Network,” where the character Howard Beale yells, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
The spineless mayor of New York City announced the Tribute in Light commemorating the fall of the Twin Towers on 9/11 would not happen using the COVID-19 boogeyman as his whiny excuse after also cancelling the reading of names of those killed. But ordinary citizens, true Americans, stepped in and took over in order to make it happen, basically telling the (National Socialist) Democrat lackeys to stick it where the sun won’t shine.
A group of ordinary citizens stood up against an Antifa mob that tried to “peacefully” invade the community where the Seattle police chief lived in order to “peacefully protest” in front of her house. These modern Minutemen blocked the road, armed, and demonstrating safe, proper handling of a firearm, but prepared if the anarchists wanted to escalate. It was a Lexington Green moment. They were prepared to defend their friends, their neighbors and their property against unwelcome invaders. And the best part? The high sheriff was there standing beside them.
An Antifa gang of cowardly criminals assaulted a man in a wheelchair at a support the police rally and were given a beat down and then arrested when police arrived.
Am I advocating for vigilantism? No … at least not right now. There would have to be a complete breakdown (read defunding of law enforcement) before I would go that far. But that is not to say I wouldn’t under the right circumstances.
The one bit of advice I would give those that stand up to the (National Socialist) Democrat party sponsored domestic terrorists: Play their game. Video everything from start to finish. If possible get more than one person that is dedicated to nothing but recording everything. Play by their rules. Use their tactics against them. The MSM may control most of the media, but they cannot stop the internet.
The republic will not fall.

CONSPIRACY THEORY, CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!!!!! Just wanted to get in on the fun.
So Bob, what about when Dear Leader did the same thing. He was obviously doing the same thing.
I think it’s called replacing/disposing of outdated/broken equipment. And mailboxes do get replaced now and then. Also they will remove boxes from underused areas, But that part doesn’t fit the Chicken Little leftist/socialist agenda
Explain why mail order meds are almost doubling in time to be delivered. Explain why packages you can track are sitting in local distribution centers for days and weeks. It is real interesting to watch packages that use UPS then USPS for delivery. They get picked up and delivered to USPS within 2 days and sit a week or more in local USPS distribution. Conspiracy alright, pres is conspiring with dirt bag Dejoy to delay mail and sow seeds of doubt into Nov election.
CONSPIRACY THEORY, CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!!!!!
Love ya…mean it
Bob, Check the facts and stop spreading Democratic misinformation about everything the President says. does or doesn’t do ! The Postmaster General made these decisions, based on the long history of the PO inefficiency which costs the American taxpayers millions of $$$ every year. He also stated that NONE of these changes would go into effect until the end of this year. When are you going to learn NOT to believe the mainstream media?
Who’s drinking who’s coolaid here? Can’t trust the media as they view everything with a dramatic ‘click here’ mindset. Can’t trust the republican party as they have filled he swap to capacity with their open comfort with avoiding any inconvenient truth. Can’t trust tin foil hat Alan as he only views things as an “I hate democrats and only I know the trust’ slant.
None of you really know what you are talking about and just spew forth your sides view on any given subject. Fools all of you (me included).
Best of luck
@Anne, those changes are and were in process of being made until he got CAUGHT. I have mail order meds that have been sitting in MA for the last 5 days that should have been delivered 8/15. Postal tracking is a wonderful thing that “mainstream media” has no bearing on. Go to the post office and ask why you aren’t getting mail… they’ll tell you, NO OVERTIME. Everything gets dropped at the end of shift no matter what and it sits. They are now weeks behind.
The US Postal Service is a financial black hole. They lose billions of dollars every year, but their private sector competition (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are profitable.
The incompetent USPS needs to be reformed, and Trump’s the man to do it.
@AustinMorris, don’t know where anyone got the idea the USPS was a business, it is a GOVERNMENT service yet the Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. Congress exercised those powers with the passage of The Post Office Act of 1792, which made the Postal Service a permanent fixture of the Federal Government., so because the only charge nominal fees in comparison to the private sector they run in the red.
Roberto, yes & no.
I think the Pres is in errerr with the USPS strategy. On the other hand, mass mail-in ballots encourage fraud. You don’t have to provide proof that you attest who you are. You can easily vote for dead people, and/or other relatives, friends, acquaintances, etc. If you don’t vote, you can’t whine about the result. So trudge down to the poll and vote in person.
It’s contradictory for you to mail in a vote while affirming your ID, but not requiring your ID at the polling place. The LEFT says it’s OK to vote without ID; but you need ID to drive, cash a check, buy a house or car, enroll in most any govt program such as ObamaCare, Medicade, SNAP, most any transaction. Such hypocrisy.
But you are not required to drive a car or have Medicare/Obamacare, or write a check, etc. to have the right to vote.
You have the right to vote. Period. You still have to register (which assures election boards can verify your eligibility). Asking people to prove they have this right is just another way to discourage them from participating.
Mail-in votes don’t encourage fraud any more than it encourages participation. So you’re saying that you don’t want fraud because you really just don’t want participation and that’s a safe way to be on a defensible side of the argument.
Alan Marshall – I love how you paint and name call every one who doesn’t think and believe like you as National Socialist, etc. and make violent threats against them/us, whomever they/we may be. You sound more than a bit like someone and his Nationalist party that we all know came to an untimely end on April 30th of 1945. You also sounds like your head may be in that proverbial dark and smelly place. If you try removing it from there, you might see and think more clearly and what President Drump and his minions and those like you are doing to this nation. I would also recommend that you and the Proud Boys or any other similar group not threaten anyone with violence when you don’t fully understand what their capabilities are or your playground talk may not turn out like you think. It’s an invitation to disaster!
Don’t you just love how people read something not there then comment on it.
Like the part about making threats. Anyone who knows me knows I don’t make threats. A threat implies I MIGHT do something. As the line from the movie Roadhouse goes…be nice, until it’s time to not be nice.
I never look for trouble. But I also don’t back down from it. And only a fool underestimates his opponent. I tend to overestimate and prep accordingly, it minimizes surprises.
If you can’t bash President Trump, then what is point of writing any commentary, Boob – I mean Bob? President Trump has led this nation through a very trying time and has had to put up with verbal assassination at every turn. If the former so-called president Obama had had this same treatment, he would have ran home to his mama! I applaud President Trump, proudly display my Trump flag, and will vote for him again!
I let my dogs crap in your yard and I don’t pick it up.
Because you’re a lazy leftist!
I work pretty hard that they don’t pick anyone else’s yard. It’s not lazy. It’s passion.
TP…Nah, you’re lazy…
@sherrymcbee, real mature aren’t we?
0bama got rid of over 10,000 mailboxes and no one cared. He put kids in cages, no one cared. He let H1N1 run rampant, and no one cared. He ignored “systemic racism” and no one cared.
But when Trump does any of these, or Bob’s friends think he does, it’s the end of the world.
It’s almost funny. Almost.
Oh @Bryan I hope you are not as ignorant as your post makes you seem because YOU sure aren’t funny. You compare H1N1 and less than 13,000 deaths to TRUMP’S MURDER of 172,000 Americans by his total and complete incompetence??? Trump is a corrupt, ignorant, misogynistic, and racist murderer.
And she called you ignorant
A racist murderer?
What Trump made Covid in his lab in the White House? China allowed this lab to propogate into the world when they closed the internal border from Wuhan, but kept international airports open. Trump closed the airports to non citizens and non residents before any other country. Your side called him a xenophobe for doing so, and kept at it for months before admitting once (and never again) that it was a good move that saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives.
He also pushed for, and got, increased funding for HBCUs, increased employment rates for all ethnic groups to record levels, and worked with SJWs to free minorities who Joe Biden & Co. disproportionally incarcerated during the 1990s crime bill.
Keep drinking the MSNBCCCP Kool Aid. It must be nice.
@Bryan, you must be using the Faux news hand out. He shut down airports to travelers FROM China’s Airports who then rerouted to any other airport and came anyway. The NYC infection came from virus directly traced from Europe NOT China. Yes, virus originated there but he DID NOTHING to protect this country when he was briefed long before most us ever heard of it. Guess he was too busy playing golf to worry about it because after all it will magically disappear or we can just drink some lysol. He is totally incompetent and by his negligence 173,000 Americans are DEAD. It is called Negligent homicide, the killing of another person through gross negligence. I call it murder because it is premeditated negligence. Some money to HBCs does not fix his racism. His language and tweets pretty much proves daily he is racist and misogynistic. Let’s also not forget he has now embraced QAnon, a conspiracy with no proof of anything. Yet we have multiple photos through the years of his association with Epstein a CONVICTED pedophile and now one of the victims saying she was paraded before him at age 14. His economy (which he was riding from previous administration)… where is it now, same as everything else he touches, BANKRUPT.
LIZZY… they’re giving away common sense st the socialist resource center today according to michell Kennedy’s website…. you should go and get a double dose!
Very well stated Mr. Marshall. I agree with every word, and I feel that there are many more like me that also agree with your points, and are ready and willing to take a stand and defend our great Republic !!!
