People thronging in the streets
Believe they're right to live and reach
For the American dream of wealth and hope
Despite their lack of power to vote
The cities, afraid of being sued
By illegal immigrants, who
fall from heatstroke in their march
Pass out free water to the parched
Those that watch the news at night
Who pay their taxes and are willing to fight
For this country, wrong or right
Don't understand rules bent and broke
To coddle a people, English not spoke
Or willing to meet the requirements that come
Along with rights of citizenship won
Right now simple thunder gathers in the streets
And America listens to their words of heat
But the strike of lightening is not far off
When bolts of anger will shoot flames aloft
And gathering thunder will be no more
For the people's vote will shut the door

WOW!! Powerful stuff here, Barbara. Why don't you send this to the editor of your daily newspaper?
RE: Virginia's suggestion - I think that is a wonderful idea, but the majority, I'm sorry to say, won't get it.
If they vote.
Sadi, Just wanted to ask which John Nash you referred to?
The English architect that died in 1835?
The general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers?
Or The Nobel Laureate mathematical genius?
I'm guessing not the dead one or the one managing grown men playing a game. :)
I do poll work in a precinct that generally has 70-80% turnout.
Many more people do absentee ballots than in years past due to job constraints. This makes a big positive difference in voter turn-out.
