Just as the pen is mightier than the sword, your vote will always carry greater strength than any gun. Here's a spot Mullen put together for the Federal Voting Assistance Program to remind American servicemembers to send their votes home where they belong.
This is my weapon. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless.
In the new Department of Defense public service announcement (PSA) the Rifleman's Creed acts as a call to action -- your vote is your most powerful weapon. It will debut on the American Forces Network (AFN) during Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011. The message, your vote is your weapon. Register.

In the last election cycle - many states failed to send their overseas absentee ballots to the soldiers on time, robbing them of their say, that sickens me. The politics of war denied to those that are asked to serve in it? Disgraceful.
