Push Is On to Give Legal Immigrants Vote in New York

Un-freaking believeable! Voting is a right reserved to citizens. I don't care if you're here legally, illegally or otherwise - if you don't want to bother becoming an American citizen, you should not be able to vote in American elections. Period. End of discussion.

Elected officials, labor unions and community groups are starting to advocate the notion of allowing immigrants to vote in the New York City elections.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
