Billed by its organizers at the Civic Engagement Collaborative (CEC) as an initiative to mobilize immigrant New Yorkers in preparation for the 2016 Presidential elections, New York needs the new campaign to be an effective effort.

I have two groups of friends from Staten Island and Broolklyn. In one group, only one out of fifteen speaks italian.

They dont speak it around me because I dont understand Italian.
My mother does but never spoke it because back then it was though two languages would be too tough for a kid.

The dive to Detroithood begins.
NY and CA are lost.

Most in office now fully understand where this is all going. It’s why they increasingly pander to those folks. They’ll hang on until those they pandered to, replace them with their own.
As a result, some people think I'm just another motorcycle-riding redneck.
You should see the look on their faces when I tell them that English is my "second" language....priceless.
Typical. The campaign organisers are ALL Demoncrats.
Can someone insert a frame from South Park here? From "Pee"?

Watch closely, after all these big Democrat controlled cities register millions of foreign voters the “National Popular Vote” initiative will be snuck through at the last minute.
Don’t think for a minute that Hillary Clinton can’t be elected president.
