Their religion forbids holding political office or engaging in campaigns, but does not forbid voting. But as pacifists, Amish typically think it's "inconsistent to turn around and vote for commander-in-chief," he said. |

"In general less than 10 percent of Amish take part in an election" <http://breaking-news.news.designerz.com/reclusive-amish-could-be-thrown-into-election-battleground.html> ?One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie,? Stoltzfus said. ?Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents arenīt supposed to eat untested food.? At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, ?I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldnīt do my job.? <http://zzpat.tripod.com/cvb/oct_2004/bush_god_speaks_through_me.html> What in God's name is a 'whoopie pie cookie'? |
