  1. WHY DO I HAVE TO REGISTER, BECAUSE WITH ALL THE ILLEGALS HERE THAT CAN VOTE WITH OUT BECOMING AN AMERICAN AND CAN GO FROM POLL TO POLL AND VOTE DEMOCRATIC, AND I CAN ONLY VOTE ONCE. WHY SHOULD I REGISTER. IF THE REASON TO ALLOW THEM AND ALL THE OTHER TYPES OF PERSONS THAT ARE IN AMERICA DON’T HAVE TO REGISTER DUE TO IT’S JUST TO HARD TO GET UP AND DRIVE OR TAKE A BUS TO GET TO THE POLLING PLACE, THEN I AT 70 AND MY WIFE 70, WHO HAVE WORKED FROM 17 YEARS OF AGE TILL NOW. WELL THEN IT IS JUST TO DAM HARD FOR US LAW ABBING AMERICAN TO HAVE TO REGISTER AND SHOULD GO AND VOTE 5 OR 10 OTHER POLLING PLACE FOR A REPUBLICAN OR WHOM WE SO PLEASE. YEA BABY. IF THAT IS NOT SO MEANING WE CAN’T DO THAT. THEN SOME ONE NEEDS TO TELL AL SHARPTION, JESSY JACKSON AND BAROCK O’BAMA TO SHUT THE HELL UP FOR WE THAT LIVE HERE IN AMERICA THAT HAVE WORKED AND SERVED OUR COUNTRY HAVE A HELL OF A MORE RIGHT TO VOTE THAN SOME ILLEGAL THAT HAS NEVER FOUGHT FOR OR SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICE AND WOREKD 12 TO 16 HR’S A DAY 7 DAYS TO 21 DAYS STRAIGHT WITH LITTLE TO SHOW FOR IT AFTER ALL TAXES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT. LET THE DEMOCRATES AND THE LEFT WINGER PULL MONEY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS AND SEND IT SOUTH OF THE BORDERS ( THAT WE SEAM TO NOT HAVE AT THE MOMENT )
