did you vote?
i did. the line was really short and, aside from getting some static from a blue hair when i asked if they offered a spanish version of the ballot or a translator (i was just curious), it was mostly pain free. this is the first time i've ever voted in a primary; it feels kinda neat, like i'm doing a better job as a citizen to be involved this early.
here's your political action statement of the day:
GO VOTE!
and here's my question:
how much english do you have to speak in order to gain citizenship? can you be a citizen and still not read enough english to vote? i'm not trying to start an argument, i really don't know.
(august cd sales update: as of this morning, i've sold 1 cd. one down, 49 to go, 28 shopping days left. PLEASE HELP ME!!!)

You have to pass an English test to be naturalized, but some native-born Americans speak only English, especially the children of illegal immigrants and Puerto Ricans (who are U.S. citzens and mostly speak English).
Oops, "speak only Spanish" it should say ("... and who mostly speak Spanish.").
