What are they thinking? Our DFLers are at it again. HF1899 is a bill calling for a Constitutional Amendment to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. The sponsors of the bill, (who might I say) have lost touch with the people they represent are: Rep. Phyllis Kahn, Minneapolis, Rep. Jim Davnie, Minneapolis, Rep. Carlos Mariani, St. Paul, Rep. Frank Hornstein, Minneapolis.
To protect our rights we do have a wonderful thing that says any amendment to the Constitution would require voter approval. Over 50% of people would have to vote in favor of the ballot measure in order for the amendment to pass. The ballot measure would read"
- "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to allow local units of government to authorize permanent resident non-citizens to vote in local government elections?"
No, No, No
In a recent poll over 90% of people in Minnesota are opposed to this legislation. Democrats talk about a mandate, I don't think you can get much more of a mandate than 90%+.
This conservative emailed these four individuals stating my disappointment in the bill. I stated that my Grandmother moved to the United States and became a citizen so she could have the right to vote and take part in this great country. I'm still waiting for a response to the email.
Lets get back to worrying about legislation that effects the citizens of the U.S. and not worry about meaningless, shameful attempts to get a few extra votes for these four people. Since after all we all know that this will lead to a movement to allow non-citizens to vote in State elections. Who are the non-citizens going to vote for, people who give them free money. And who loves to hand out our money....The DFLers.
