Who says they're ignoring the law?  If you're so goddamn cocksure that's the
case, why aren't you calling up the DOD and dropping a dime on all those guys?

 BS> In an unprecedented show of support for the Republican Party and 
 BS> President
 BS> Bush, 18 percent of the 2004 delegation identify themselves as 
 BS> veterans or
 BS> active military personnel. Approximately 4,800 delegates and

 BS> City.
 BS> Another 3 percent, or approximately 140 delegates, identify 
 BS> themselves as

 BS> In addition to the large percentage of veterans and military 
 BS> personnel in

 BS> will be the
 BS> most diverse in Republican Party history. The 2004 delegation

 BS> Republican
 BS> convention. With President George W. Bush leading the ticket,

 BS> delegates will be the largest minority group represented, adding 
 BS> another 15
 BS> percent to the 100 percent surge the Republican Party saw between 
 BS> the 1996
 BS> and 2 000 delegations.

 BS> The Republican National Committee recently completed certification 
 BS> of the
 BS> 2,509 delegates and 2,344 alternate delegates who will make up the 
 BS> most
 BS> diverse Republican delegation in the party's history. In 2004, 
 BS> minorities
 BS> make up 17 percent of total delegates and women make up 44 
 BS> percent. In
 BS> 2000, minorities made up 10 percent of total delegates and women 
 BS> made up 36
 BS> percent. In 1996, minorities made up 6.3 percent of total 
 BS> delegates and
 BS> women made up 33 percent.

And here you just shot yourself in the head.  "The RNC recently completed
certification of the 2509 delegates..."  Do you really think they're going to
certify a delegate who can't legally be one?  Don't be idiotic.  As far as that
goes, restrictions on active duty personnel getting involved in politics have
to do with those ON active duty.  As long as they don't wear uniforms and
restrict such participation to off-duty hours (or on leave, etc.) they aren't
violating anything.  

 BS> The 2004 Republican National Convention will be held for the first 
 BS> time
 BS> ever in New York City at Madison Square Garden from August 30 ñ 
 BS> September
 BS> 2, 2004. Nearly 50,000 visitors are expected to visit the city for 
 BS> the
 BS> occasion.

Maybe you should try getting some information instead of just spewing garbage.
