An interesting poll question. Worded kinda awkwardly too - but I think most Freepers understand what is being asked here.

The question can be found in the middle of the home page - just scroll down a bit. You'll find it!

I thought this poll would be worth Freeping - and also to see the various comments posted on here.

Fire away!

The first comment is breathtaking! What an ignoramus. Obviously a career federal gov't employee. Just so you are clear, this is a quotation, not my response ;>)

We need to stop this act of infringement upon U.S. Citizens. Since 9-11. Hate crimes have risen on Immigrants. We have no job, discrimination against us in all facet of living. Such as Housing, Employment, schools, and when we try to run for office. Even if we file a complaint with any government agencies, such as HUD, Civil Rights, ACLU, and NAACP. Our complaints will be dismissed, and our voice will be silent. We left with no dignity, decency, or respect living in the USA any more. We have been spat on, kicked, brutally abused by the police, and some corrupted elected officials. We need Freedom and justice for all not just some! AAI TAKES LEAD IN FIGHTING-BAITING: "As a community, we can no longer be invisible," Zogby said. "We must register, we must vote and we must be active in party politics. That's the only way we will be taken seriously and can influence policy."

Some of the other comments are really spaced out too, but the score keeps improving on the poll. It's working.
