Featured Pennsylvania State Volunteers
Veterans for All Voters is proud to feature Pennsylvania veterans Dennis Miller and Ed Beck, whose recent op-eds are making waves in the fight for political reform.
In TribLive, Ed Beck shares how independent veterans are being locked out of Pennsylvania’s closed primaries—despite serving the country they can’t fully vote in.
Meanwhile, Dennis Miller reminds readers in the Delaware Valley Journal that military service is nonpartisan—and voting should be too. These veterans are using their voices to lead change, and we’re honored to stand with them
MILLER: Military Service is Nonpartisan; Voting Should Be, Too – Delaware Valley Journal
Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American democracy. As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, it’s worth asking: How much of that promise have we truly fulfilled? I love this country. I love this commonwealth. And I believe in democracy—not in theory, but in practice. But what kind of system says you can go to war for your country, yet you can’t vote for the leaders who send our young people into combat?
Ed Beck: Independent vets locked out of Pa. primaries
Consider this situation. A Pennsylvanian devotes over three decades to military service, most of it in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Along the way, he earns multiple degrees and becomes a management consultant, a college professor and an entrepreneur. He’s played by the rules, served his country and contributed to his community. And yet, despite all that service, he’s prohibited from voting in his state’s primary elections. Why? Because he’s registered as an independent.
