Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled Trekers yearning to breathe free....

Glad to have you on the voting end of citizen ship Diane. You can do at least two things now:

1) cancel out Omega's national vote.... [Wink]
2) serve on the ever popular jury duty!

I've actually gotten out of jury duty twice by telling them I wasn't a citizen. There goes that excuse.

Just tell them you can spot a guilty person just like THAT!

Odd... I thought you had to be registered to vote in order to be called to jury duty. How did your name get on the jury duty list, if you weren't even a citizen?

I've gotten out of jury duty by claiming I didn't know enough English to know didley squat. [Wink] Ya know, I think my whole family has done that (including my parents who are not registered to vote anywhere.) [Big Grin]

TSN, it would be the same reason why I get e-mails about breats enlargement and 50% discounts to OBGYN's.

No, from mindless computers who want to reach out and touch someone.

I'd LOVE to be on jury duty. (I am however in the UK so it's probably quite a bit different.) I am not allowed to for another 20 years as I used to be a prison officer and may run into an ex inmate.

Mind control. That must be it. Both my parents have also gotten those jury duty things, and they freak out every time because they only know it's some kind of summons but not what it really says. Their English isn't THAT bad but they just don't really look at it.
