After being a Legal Permanent U.S. Resident for the past 35 years (Canadian citizen /my hubby is U.S. citizen by birth), yesterday December 14, 2007, I was sworn in as a U.S. CITIZEN at the U.S. District Court in Concord, NH !! I am SO PROUD and SO EXCITED !!
93 new citizens were sworn in from 33 different countries! It was a WONDERFUL ceremony ! Every nationality you could imagine was represented !
Within 3 hours of getting sworn in, I went to my local Town Hall and REGISTERED TO VOTE ! So I will be "good to go" for the New Hampshire Primary on January 8th ! whooo-hooo !!!
Allegra took the words right outa my mouth!
Please promise me this: that you won’t vote for Hillary!
Don’t worry - I absolutely will NOT be voting for Hillary.
Duncan Hunter is “my guy” - the best candidate in my view !
Congratulations, fellow American, and might I add - I certainly appreciate your following the law and registering to vote AFTER you’re a citizen!
Congratulations!
Will you be starting a Canadian festival? You can sell Coffee Crisps, and hire Alan Thicke as the master of ceremonies. I'll make sure to keep my feet off the Chesterfield. ;-)
You’re TOO FUNNY !
I LOVE Coffee Crisps, (and Butter Tarts) !! yummmm !!! I’ll be sure to wipe my mouth with a “serviette” after the butter tart, and keep my feet off the “chesterfield” ! haa haa !
Congratulations on becoming an American the legal way.
Congrats!!!! WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE.
My girlfriend is from Vancouver BC CANADA as well and here legally. She is 1 year away from processing her citizenship papers.
That’s exciting ! Good for her !
I can’t imagine how someone could have the audacity to go to the polls and attempt to vote, knowing that they are not a citizen !
Welcome and well done!
Way to go!
I have two years to go then it is my turn !
That’s exciting ! I found the Oath Ceremony very inspiring, and it was such a blessing to see all the other new citizens being sworn in also - from 33 different countries !
Congratulations!
Did you find it hard adjusting to the language differences, eh....? Just kidding! Congrats and God Bless You!
BTW, your former countrymen make the best bacon ever...:)
Wanna know something funny ? I NEVER heard of “Canadian Bacon” until I came to the U.S. - no kidding ! Canadians call it peameal bacon, or back bacon, but NEVER “Canadian bacon” ! haahaa !
Thanks for the good wishes! Looking forward to voting - for the very FIRST time - in the NH Primary Jan. 8 ! I want “my guy” Duncan Hunter to have a really good showing in the NH Primary !
I simply call it delicious........;)
Just now saw your post. It’s great to see someone genuinely elated and proud to become a U.S. citizen! You know more about what it means to be a contributing member of society with a mindset based in reality than 65% of our homegrown population. Glad you’re home.
Thank you for your kind and welcoming words !
I studied very hard for the Citizenship Test - I was very much over-prepared - but that’s OK - I learned a LOT of really interesting stuff about our country ! I got 100% on the test. Many of my U.S. born co-workers and friends did not know the answer to many of the questions!
I got sworn in a week ago today! What a GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT !!!
Congratulations!
Nevertheless I have to say as being a German I could not imagine giving up my German citizenship for becoming American. I do not say that I am content with everything in my country but it is the place were I have my roots in all regards. Therefore I have to say that the US are a nation I keep warm and good feelings for, but America will never be the place where I want to be a citizen. It is a matter of love for the origin. Therefore we Germans call our country “Vaterland” (Father’s Land).
