You Have A Right To Know

Normally I keep politics off HotKarz, but this particular issue is so dramatic and pertains specifically to Maine.

On November 2nd, election day, the ballots in Portland Maine will include an initiative to give non-citizens the right to vote in Portland elections, for local and school board offices.

So, let me get this straight - it is against federal law to allow foreign interests to provide funds to influence elections, but Portland thinks it's OK for those same foreigners to actually VOTE, and influence elections more directly.

Portland already has a large Somali community. In fact, there are over 7,000 foreign nationals, mostly from the Sudan and Somalia - that live in Portland. It is entirely possible - even likely - that eventually there are enough to sway local elections and get them into local offices, and running the schools.

Bear in mind - these people not only are not citizens, they have a foreign passport and have sworn allegiance to their home country, not America. It is unimagineable that anyone would allow such a transgression. Unlike immigrants who have become naturalized, foreign nationals have allegiance to their country, not America. They have never passed a background check. They have not been required to understand our system of government.

But is this really a threat? Consider...

In 1960, Belmont MA was a nice "Leave it To Beaver" community. By 1990 it was predominantly Asian - mostly from Viet Nam and Thailand. If they had voting rights, people whose allegiance is to Asian nations would be running Belmont. The same thing happened in Hollywood CA. And in many communities across the nation, Latinos outnumber Americans already.

Are we going to cede America to foreign interests?

Will the good people of Portland quietly sit back and let this dangerous idea become law, simply because they did not think they had the time to vote?

I, for one, appreciate the contribution legal immigrants have brought to our shores. But I would never, ever want to cede one square inch of America to any foreign nations.

Muslims, for example, have long stated their objective is to infiltrate infidel nations and quietly take over from within - they are doing that in Germany, France, the Netherlands and England already. Imagine when they discover they can easily take over an entire American city, legally, just by flooding the city with muslims. Before you know it, Sharia Law will invade Portland - legally. They would start with little things, designed to convince locals it is easier to comply, or just move out of Portand (that is how Belmont got overtaken - I know, I was raised there). Eventually there would not be enough Americans left in Portland to stop them from taking over completely.

No, I am not a "sky is falling" rube. I have seen examples of this before, even without giving them voting rights. But giving them voting rights just makes it easier, faster and LEGAL.

Portland, don't sit on your butts November 2nd. Get out and vote, and save your city.

Before you leave, if you think it cannot happen, take a look at these pictures, taken in various areas throughout New York City.

Is this going to be Portland?
