<Noncitizens Should Get Vote, Too,> I tend to agree. we pay taxes, why not have a say in how those tax $s are spent ? When I was in NZ, I didnt need to be a citizen : just had to be living there for 1 year, to vote. cheers, kumar

Hi Hawk....Could you repost that link, or do you have the name of the article? It may be an evaporated link, so we could find it by google.... Wonder which lamebrain thought that proposal up? Sure, we "could" let the entire world come in to vote in our election as well....by that logic....<very sarcastically said> If the people who are here, don't like it, they can leave, IMO. If they want to become US citizens, they can vote. There is NOTHING to prevent aliens from becoming citizens of the US, if they are legally here and can prove they aren't criminals. I don't see any grey on this issue myself, and will actively work (money and time) to prevent something like this from happening. Edit: I retried it, and oddly enough, even though the headline says it was printed Oct 1st...the article is no longer there, but this is: Noncitizens Should Get Vote, Too, Mayor Says Latinos Fault Access To D.C.
