  1. WHY NOT ADD CITIZENS OF THE WORLD — ESP IN RED RUSSIA AND RED CHINA ???

    ONE MORE PART OF THE NOW ADVANCED SUICIDE OF THE WEST [TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, OF COURSE].

  2. This is idiocy. If they want these people to vote in something, make it a non-governmental election.

  3. If they can prove that they actually pay taxes, they should be allowed to vote. No taxation without representation. By the same principle, if someone works in one state, and lives in another, or if someone owns taxable property in more than one place, they should be able to vote in all those places. Also, corporations should be allowed to make direct political contributions because they have to pay taxes, too.

  4. Amherst – Where the “h” isn’t pronounced. Kind of like in West Virginia with Kanawha County which is pronounced just Kanaw.

  5. Why 17? Why not 16? Why legal immigrants only? This is just voter suppression!

  6. Why not 0.1 second olde folks also ??? — they got *rights* too.

    Why not foreign enemy invaders also ??? — they got *rights* too [to destroy the USA and Western Civilization]

    SUICIDE OF THE WEST — VERY ADVANCED BRAIN DEAD — ALMOST PULL THE PLUG TIME ???

    LOOK ON GOOGLE – LIST OF DEAD REGIMES.

  7. Walter, if I visit Mexico, or any other country, I pay taxes while I am there, but I can’t vote in their elections.

    If a 9 year old buys a candy bar, they pay a sales tax on it, so should they be able to vote? I say no.

    Corporations are not people, they are legal fictions created by the state. They should not be able to vote.

  8. What’s next in RED communist Mass –

    NO age/citizen restrictions — for ANY thing ???

    Getting married, holding any office – elected or appointed, etc. ???

    Esp having Mass Prez electors in the EC be chosen by ALL world citizens – ages 0.1 second to 150 years plus.

    — esp in connection with the NPV scheme.
