Illegal aliens canvassing votes for dems.
SEATTLE -- When Maria Gianni is knocking on voters' doors, she's not bashful about telling people she is in the country illegally. She knows it's a risk to advertise to strangers that she's here illegally - but one worth taking in what she sees as a crucial election.
The 42-year-old is one of dozens of volunteers - many of them illegal immigrants - canvassing neighborhoods in the Seattle area trying to get naturalized citizens to cast a ballot for candidates like Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who is in a neck-to-neck race with Republican Dino Rossi.
Pramila Jayapal, head of OneAmerica Votes, says the campaign is about empowering immigrants who may not feel like they can contribute to a campaign because they can't vote.
"Immigrants really do matter," Jayapal said. "If we can't vote ourselves, we're gonna knock on doors, or get family members to vote."
So far the illegal immigrants going door-to-door aren't meeting opposition. Craig Keller, an organizer for Respect WA, a group pushing for stricter immigration law in the Washington, said he doesn't mind illegal immigrants volunteering for vote drives, he just wants to make sure mistakes on the voter rolls don't allow them to vote.
"Anybody can go out and wave a sign, but when it comes to who's making the choices, there's no question they need to be citizens," Keller said.
In close elections across the country, the immigrant and minority vote is considered key for candidates, especially Democrats.

Do you mind if Illegal aliens campaign for your candidate?
I was reading a story on the Washington Post regarding Maria Gianni, a self-confessed illegal alien who is canvassing for U.S. Senator Patty Murray. Far from living "in the shadows", she freely admits to being here illegally (she overstayed a visa), and insists she must fight against our "broken immigration system." One-America has organized this effort and is the largest get out the vote effort for Democrats in the state.
So the party that is supposedly concerned about foreign money in campaigns, doesn't mind foreign nationals here illegally serving to influence our elections?
While I don't mind immigrants who are legally here volunteering, I find it troubling that someone with openly illegal status would be encouraged to participate in a U.S. election.
I wonder where Obama stands on this?
Not really
