My future Senator Rand Paul will lead that fight I hope.
And especially after President Palin gives him a position on her staff. ;D
+ 1 ;D
and it's just for local elections. (just like in different countries as well, e.g. EU)
Only EU citizens can vote.
I guess there are several conditions for those non-US citizens to be allowed to vote.- to be legal immigrant first but
Right, but still I can go legally to Maine, vote for some populist just for fun and come back. Unless there're some other conditions.
The green card. (otherwise you're not a legal immigrant)
I guess this comes down to a personal opinion thing. I don't see why someone should get to vote if they are not going to bother becoming a citizen. If voting were that importaqnt to them then becoming a citizen should not be an issue. It strikes me as coddling people too lazy to expend the effort to become citizens; and yes, there is a lot of effort and paperwork involved in naturalization. There is a lot of effort and paperwork involved to become a legal resident too though, how come one thing is too hard but the other is not?
Nothing personal about this but facts: - some non-citizens are allowed to vote under specific circumstances- historically, this is not a "premi?re" in the US (http://www.law.ucla.edu/home/index.asp?page=2494 and http://www.springerlink.com/content/c1231800564p7247/fulltext.pdf
You are only able to vote where I live in Germany if you are a citizen, even if you are a legal immigrant. To me that is only right. If you want the franchise, become a citizen or go back home.
or citizen of the EU living in another EU country.According to your article, it seems that other states are allowing non-citizens to vote for local issues.I think that US history is providing many examples of such vote-rights in the past.
I guess there are several conditions for those non-US citizens to be allowed to vote.- to be legal immigrant first but - must they live in the country for a minimun number of years ? - others ? and it's just for local elections. (just like in different countries as well, e.g. EU)
Why Hess was the last one to be confined in that prison until death ? Just because he was a lunatic ?
Between what you say and reality, there is a tremendous difference. The Republicans (and others) can't just suppress departments (like Education) without any sustainable alternative. If they want to go back to the past, they lose the current supremacy. If you want to keep a world leadership, you must follow the rules and all its obligations otherwise you isolate yourself or you must assume all consequences, peaceful or violent ones. Wether you like or not, it's globalisation for all.
Just FYI - a little while back this thread took over the title for having "most replies" on this forum from "Bulgarian people, the forgotten saver of Europe".
Forgotten again ;D
Sweden's 57% tax rate is a success?? For whom???
health care, education and more. Just check, Sweden isn't considered as a communist country and it works.
I do not understand the attractiveness of Sweden as a model. They too are staring the coming demographic nightmare in the face along with the rest of Europe.
Another example of government intervention success tho ... especially about welfare or health care.
