How dare you give free publicity to an organization who only wants to register voters for a political agenda. Smacks of Acorn to me with an obviously biased group agitating to register people to vote who may not even be legally qualified.
If you aren't motivated enough to go register thru the Registrar's Office or the DMV then you don't deserve to vote. There should be a law against any group being allowed to register voters.
Secondly, if you want to live and vote in this country then learn to speak and write in English. My Grandparents were immigrants and they learned to speak and read the language very quickly in order to become Americans. They were proud to be Americans and did not refer to themselves by the ethnic origins.
I find it to be a form of racism to favor one group above others of different backgrounds. Shame on you for even running this story.

It'll be interesting to see how many new registrants are deceased, pets, can't remember their "name" or can't communicate with the poll workers.

QUOTE:

"Rockhold tells us the Latino student alliance at the University of Virginia is very active in the initiative and says when they return in the fall - their goal is to get as many Latinos in Charlottesville registered as possible."

Will the Alliance be as active in verifying that the Latinos, or other groups they wish to register in Charlottesville are actually American citizens? And, if such, are they registered to vote back in their home states? Will they vote here and also by absentee ballot in their home districts?

Or do they adhere to the Chicago philosophy of "Vote early and Vote often".

A pittance compared to what DOD contractors rip off from the taxpayers. Why do you think, if you do, we have to wait till 2014 to get out of Afghanistan? DOD contracts.

Good for them. They can't vote unless they're here legally and/or are citizens, so they should be applauded for taking an active participation in our democracy.

Far right-winger paranoid voter conspiracies notwithstanding.

I assume they will all have green cards and proper identification but, of course, there can be a presidential order to preclude that. What a joke!

I don't think that presenting a green card will get you into the voting booth.

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Aries

Your boredom threshold is lower than usual this today so don't be surprised if you start to feel restless. Ideally, you should alter your usual routine and do something totally different, because that will certainly keep you interested in what's going on around you. Watch out if you decide to spend money because you might part with a lot more than you intended.
