text: Friends on this site have made it clear that they believe some people are not qualified to make an informed vote.  
  
  Your assumption that all people believe citizenship alone is the only qualification would be false (I'd say it's a minority opinion)
  
  Ou families may read and discuss, but that's pretty Norman Rockwell imagery to sell, I'm not sure it works that way in all households and certainly not those involved in the chaos of poverty.
   
  I'm of the opinion everyone has the right to vote and express themselves.   Force canidates to talk to the poor, to engage them as citizens of equal value.
