You all should read this as this is definitely one of those three letter phrases you'll be saying just by reading the title.

SORRY IF YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN, YOU CAN'T VOTE, NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT!!!

New Haven to propose allowing non-citizen immigrants to vote in municipal elections

Published: Tuesday, December 13, 2011

NEW HAVEN — New Haven is taking its immigrant-friendly approach one step further and has proposed allowing non-citizen residents, including those who are undocumented, to vote in municipal elections.

The proposal is part of a package it will submit to state lawmakers for the session that starts in February.

Mayor John DeStefano Jr. Tuesday said the impetus behind the proposal is “to build a more engaged participatory community” and it follows the example of other cities that have already done this.

What kind of kool-aid is he on?

"If you live here, you pay taxes here and send your kids to school here, you should be able to vote," DeStefano said

With all due respect, Mr Mayor, ILLEGALS DO NOT PAY TAXES!!!!

They live here ILLEGALLY and send their kids to OUR schools, but DO NOT PAY TAXES!!!!

Not on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday!

Apologies to the real kool-aid

This is just another way the liberals increase their fan base and keep their jobs thats way the tax payers in New Haven have to vote these people out beforethey give the store away

This clown destefano has a history of doing stupid stuff like this. As the link to the new haven register shows, the first few senators that they polled, both dems and reps said they would not support the proposal. Even if liberal lightning strikes and this resolution passes, it is a direct violation of the constitution and would inevitably be struck down as such.

This Mayor will do anything for a vote! Lets not forget the BS with the NH20 Firefighters, again polliticians should be held responsible for the actions that they take! Hit them in the pocket where it might make them aware that if they screw up they will pay out of pocket and not by the taxpayers!

Just to let you know, the liberals are even up in arms about this over here. Gov Malloy is totally against this idea, but he hates DiStefano anyway. I know my mayor is like _ _ _ ?!?!?!?!?! If any one of the legislatures in this state even think about supporting this, they have to be drinking that kool-aid.

Menino will soon jump on this bandwagon....
