Voting
One of the most important privileges of democracy in the United States of America is the right to participate in choosing elected officials through voting. As a Permanent Resident you can only vote in local and state elections that do not require you to be a US citizen. It is very important that you do not vote in national, state or local elections that require a voter to be a US citizen when you are not a US citizen. There are criminal penalties for voting when you are not a US citizen and it is a requirement for voting. You can be removed (deported) from the US if you vote in elections limited to US citizens.

Unfortunately, green card holders can serve on powerful corporate boards, such as the National Realtors Associati on, as a member they support lobbyists whom influence Congress, whom make laws, which Citizens must obey. Does it make sense that a Green Card Holder (non voter) can influence our Congress to pass a law? Does it make sense that a Green Card Holder has more power than ONE VOTE? Our Country has 12.6 million Green Card Holders. I do not believe our legislature has given this a thought or maybe they hope they will illegally vote for them?

Sorry, you're in a "Taxation without Representation" rut! It's been argued about in the US since the Revolutionary War!
