The right of citizens to vote is carried in Amendments XIV, XV, XIX and XXVI. From this wording one would believe that all others would be excluded from voting....

This is a myth. Each state is authorized to set limits on registration and voting. Some states only require identification such as a drivers license and/or a utility bill containing a local address in order to register to vote. Some states only require a so-called Green Card to register. This Green Card is issued only to those who have immigrated legally, completing background checks favorably. However, they are not legally allowed to vote until they have become full citizens. Now it seems that a privacy law forbids the requirement for proof of citizenship at the voting booth. Perhaps Senators Harkin and Grassley should ... initiate action to correct these defaults or omissions.

Is the foregoing connected to rumors that there is to be a joining of Canada, U.S. and Mexico, such as in the European Union? This with an Amero Dollar as coinage? Inattention to the cost of fuels and the mortgage laws have further eroded the economy. Are these moves to condition citizens to accept an Amero Union along with the coinage?

The low rating given to the House and Senate demands action of the citizenship when voting for our federal agents in Washington D.C.! All evil needs to survive is our lack of attention and action!
