Citizens who were former immigrants take voting much more seriously than native born Americans as we had to EARN the right to vote and were not born with that right, so I don't buy his story.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I believe that too, that is what he said though. Maybe he thinks he can buy some votes towards the Democratic party, in order to get the presidency and amnesty?.......
As for taking voting seriously, yes, many Americans, especially the 20 something crowd, do not take it seriously. I have been on my daughters case about it since she was 18, I handed her a voter registration card and said this was my 18th B-day present to her, her right as an adult in America to vote !
I think sometimes, I even see older adults not taking their obligation/right to vote seriously enough, and it really bothers me, yet I think, oh so many people complain endlessly about the politicians in office.
Miguelina, I was brought up in a family of 6, and my parents were adament to tell us that we had two obligations in our lives as American, one to obey the laws (even if we did not always agree that law worked the way it was meant to), the other was to vote.
I knew a woman, immgrant from Romania, who was so excited to get to vote for the first time, she was in tears (she grew up in a communist country), this was very touching to me.“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.â€
