Voting Rights: The "Change We Need" to Put Our "Country First"

to put our

No matter who you are for, the fact remains that Virgin Islanders cannot express a preference in this election.  So, in this age of "historic proportions" and with fitting slogans, we want to find a way to promote our cause.

All of you know we lack Voting Rights.  Something purely fundamental to the idea of Democracy, and the quintessential to protecting the inalienable rights endowed us by our Creator is denied Virgin Islanders.  Some have asked me that we seize this opportunity to make our voices heard.  So, we will be holding our own election on Virgin Islands Watch!

There are five questions:

1. Should America have separate classes of citizens?
2. Are Virgin Islanders to be considered Americans?
3. Should ALL Americans have the right to vote?
4. Should Virgin Islanders have the right to vote?
5. If you could vote, who would you choose?

For the fifth question, we would like only persons registered to vote in the Virgin Islands to answer the question.  For maximum effect, we need as many Virgin Islanders as possible to vote.  Frankly, friends of the Virgin Islands can also answer the first four questions.  So, forward this post to all of your friends and be sure to cast your vote.  The polls will remain open until 7pm PST (10pm EST) on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008.

Once the polls are closed, the tally - and your comments - will be forwarded to the appropriate Congressional Committees and the President-Elect.  What do you think?  Do you think the Parties will consider our vote?  Are you willing to at least give it a try?  It is our time to push for the "Change We Need" to put our "(c)ountry First."

Answer the Call: Virgin Islands for the Virgin Islanders...those at home and those abroad!
