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."

Calling All Military Members Who Didn't Get to Vote

If you serve in any of the armed forces for the United States of America, and if you were not provided access to voting in the 2000 Presidential election, we are asking you to fax AND email your story (the facts) to The Law Firm of Campbell & Jones in San Antonio, Texas. Please be as specific as you can about your situation. Fax the account of your not being able to vote to (210) 227-4229. And please also email PhilipEJones@Earthlink.net.

We are most in need, initially, of Texans who were blocked from the voting process. And we are also requesting that all military members of any state who are willing to act as plaintiffs in this lawsuit please step forward by faxing AND emailing the above contact points. Please provide all means of contacting you, including via telephone. The phone number for The Law Firm of Campbell & Jones is (210) 224-1923.
