I wouldn't want that kind of mind set helping make decisions in my community.
these students ARE a part of the community...
SIUE is a part of edwardsville.
the students there do alot for the area - including volunteer work and many of them have jobs and pay their own tuition - meaning they are making an investment not only in themselves and their education but also the state they choose to live in.
these students are not showing up at election time just to spoil votes - they are voting where they live.
it makes more sense to you to have these young intellectuals vote, while living in one state, on issues that are going on in the state their parents live? they do not live there with their parents - so why should they be able to vote there? HOW DOES THAT MAKE MORE SENSE TO YOU????
these people are 18 - prescribed with liberty to vote on issues which matter to them in places they are living.
make sense to me...
and makes it evident that republicans will never stop being republican - even as they are faced with proof.
