When their bambinos turn 18 they will vote for any candidate that promises rewards to madre and padre for all their past "suffering".

Hopefully their bambinos will be "Americanized" to the point that they won't give a rat's hind leg about voting when they turn 18, and up to about 25 or so. I didn't much care about it when I was 18. I was too busy doing other stuff, like girls, cars, stereos etc. Oh, yeah, I joined the USMC, too for 4 years. Didn't see much news or pay much attention then either. I f they are like my 20 year old daughter and her friends, they are more into having a good time and listening to music rather than talk radio or reading Cosmo or H'wood people rags rather than newspapers. ......

Wishful thinking, I am afraid.

We've got examples of what to expect among us now. Some children of immigrants indeed do 'americanize', but far too many see no need to, entirely. More likely they'll pick and choose among those cultural traits that appeal to them.

From what I've seen, first proudly identifying themselves as American is increasingly not among those traits. Its just not as socially acceptable as being oppressed and 'ethnically diverse'.

Your point has merit. BUT, we can not count on that.

This must be slapped down with a flood of opposition.

Hunt out the fax websites and DO IT..

Have a bit of patriot fun and make just ONE phone call. If a majority of us make one call, it will be a flood of calls. And DO NOT wait for "the other guy" to do it.

Be the "other guy" and pick up the phone.
