    Response from Arroyo re Voting rites for non-residents

    Can you believe this response? What a bunch of hogwash.

    VOTING AS A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP? Bull****



    Dear Mr. *******,

    Thank-you for your email. You and Councillor Arroyo clearly have a
    fundamental difference on this issue. For your review, I have attached
    a copy of the Councillor's proposed legislation. I also attach a fact
    sheet directly addressing the distinction we see between citizenship
    and
    voting rights. I hope you will review them to get a better
    understanding of the Councilor's motivation in introducing his
    legislation.

    Summarizing, we believe that immigrant voting is not a substitute for
    citizenship, but rather a clearer pathway to citizenship which promotes
    both civic education and political literacy. Many immigrants want to
    become citizens but because of bureaucratic red tape must wait many
    years to complete the process. Councillor Arroyo's proposal would
    require legal residents wishing to vote in City elections to sign a
    legal affidavit promising to apply for citizenship "as soon as
    possible"
    and will encourage citizenship by ensuring that immigrants have a stake
    in their adopted communities.

    This proposal has nothing to do with illegal immigration. On that
    issue, we intend to continue our support for comprehensive immigration
    reform at the federal level. We do not support the Hazelton, PA
    approach.

    I hope this email helps better explain Councillor Arroyo's proposal and
    that you will also review the attached documents. I am happy to
    discuss
    the details further if you would like.

    Sincerely,
    - Jamie

    I'm so ticked, but I will not vent my frustration on this type of rubbish......

    Question though, what's next, sending ballots to people in France, England, Germany, Russia, or Red China?

    This guy Arroyo's so dumb he thinks cherrios are doughnut seeds. How else can we explain his actions?

    What city and state is this Arroyo in?

    Boston, Mass. See the Focus Campaign.

    Please send them a letter or call them up. It's really outrageous that Boston was a primary location of activities during the American Revolution and I'm too mad to say the rest.

    Love her red tape excuse.
