* on CNN right now, look to his right

There's a young woman in full military uniform at a * Rally. This is in violoation of the Hatch Act that prohibits any federal employee from endorsing any political candidate publicly. Since everyone who attends Bush rallys have to sign loyalty oaths, and this is a well known fact, I'm assuming that she is publicly endorsing Bush.

in uniform. That is a directive from the DOD.

4. Noticed it here Too.

There has been problems with that here at DMAFB in Tucson. Someone had put a Bush/Cheney sign in their front yard of military housing.
We contacted the housing office, and it was down the following day, this weekend as we were coming through the main gate there was a "Vets for Bush" bumper sticker in the window of the SP gate house.

When my wife came through the gate on Sunday it was still there, so she informed the SP on duty that the bumper sticker was in violation of the Hatch Act and that it was also a violation of military regulations punishable uner the UCMJ, the SP was surprised by that.

When she got home she called the SP desk and made an official report to the NCOIC of the SP.

By the way my wife is a USAF Master Sergeant.
