By: Association of Mature American Citizens “It’s not a joke; it’s a blatant attempt to begin securing the future for progressive government,” It is estimated that there are some one million non-citizens living in New York City. “That’ Weber noted that the proposed law would allow non-citizens to vote only in municipal elections. “But it provides no mechanism for ensuring that voters will stick to the rules. Both citizens and non-citizens would be using the same polling places and the same ballot boxes. There would be nothing to stop non-citizens from casting ballots for those seeking House and Senate seats or from voting for the next president. It would facilitate voter fraud on a massive scale in state and federal elections. And, that is why it should be of concern not just to those who live in New York City but also among those of us in the rest of the nation.” Those who support the proposed law claim that residents who are not yet citizens are unfairly disenfranchised. They say that they are a large and important part of the population and that they are unfairly “unrepresented” “The immigrants who built America came here with a desire to participate in the democratic process, not to dismantle it,” Weber pointed out. “New Americans are welcomed when they first arrive and they are encouraged to take the path to citizenship that their predecessors took. These efforts to disrupt the process is an outrage. They make a mockery of our nation’s history and our future.” ABOUT AMAC The Association of Mature American Citizens [http://www.amac.us] is a vibrant, vital and conservative alternative to those organizations, such as AARP, that dominate the choices for mature Americans who want a say in the future of the nation.
