In some cities across America, noncitizens are allowed to in local election. For example, noncitizens are allowed to vote in Chicago's municipal election. On November 2nd, voters in Portland, Maine and San Francisco, California would have the opportunity to decide whether on not they want to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. San Francisco's ballot would a low noncitizens vote in the school board election if they have children in school.
When I was a student at UMSL, I ran for Student Senate with my Korean roommate. He was not a citizen of this country at the time but he was a student; therefore, he was allowed to vote in the campus' election just like any other student on campus. With that in mind, San Francisco might want to consider how they can allow all parents, wether or no they are citizens of this country, to vote in school board election without involving the local election board. They could set something up within the schools where all parents are eligible to vote.

I only lost the battle
I lost the Republican primary, but there is a lot to be grateful about. A lot of voters support my effort to legalize medical marijuana, support public transportation and oppose eminent domain abuse. I'm still involved in the causes. If you are interested, please join on future petitions drives, lobbing, and other efforts to change laws
The Missouri Citizens for Property Rights will be starting a petition drive in an effort to stop eminent domain abuse.
A city wide ballot initiative to decriminalize marijuana is going on now. The St. Louis area chapter of NORML have a facebook page. We are working on the website.
Join us because we would need your help.
Join Citizens for Modern Transit to support public transit.
I don't consider losing the Republican primary a lost, but an opportunity to take advantage of.

Republicans' bright future.
So what does the future of the Republican look like?
Roy Blunt, U.S congressman and Father of Matt Blunt, recently announced that he would run for U.S. Senate in 2010. Robin Carnahan, our Secretary of State and Daughter of former Governor Mel Carnahan, announced that She is running as well. This race should be close. This race should be close and it's important that Blunt win this. Even if Blunt doesn't win, Republicans have changes in other states.
Illinois Democrats have a problem they need to solve before next years election, Roland Burris. If they don't solve this problem, a Republican would be a shoe-in for that seat. Despite calls for him to resign, Burris would not resign. Well, what do you expect from a guy who said yes to Blagojevich. Watch this video.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger can't run for President, but he can run for Senate. Barbara Boxer would be up for election that year. Schwarzenegger has been elected twice. Since day one, he worked across party line and sometimes balking his own party to balance the state budget.
He refused to show up at the Republican convention last year until the state budget problem was solved. We could use him in the Senate.
I look forward for the Republicans to increase there numbers in the Senate. Had there been more Republicans in the Senate, the make up of the so-call stimulus package would be a lot different. According to Michael Grabell and Jennifer LaFleur's ProPublica articale, all the money will not go where it need to go.
