Somalian refugees living in Greeley, Co, take their right to vote seriously.

There are hundreds of refugees from East Africa now living in Weld County after fleeing (years ago now) from the overwhelming violence in Somalia. Today, in the Greeley Tribune, I read about how SO many of these transplants have worked hard to learn english and gain American citizenship. And... the right to vote. Good for them.

Makes you think, man. I wonder if I could pass my own country's citizenship test? Our system isn't perfect, but I think most of us that were born in the U.S. don't seem to realize what a privilege it is to be able to vote. Without fear.

What am I trying to say?  VOTE. Seriously. Go vote.
