Readers urge ‘No’ vote on constitutional amendment referendum


To the Editor:

Vote no to your ballot referendum question for amending our Wisconsin Constitution by changing the word “every” to “only.”

Once again, the Republicans are circumventing the traditional legislative process just to say that something that is already illegal is still and always will be illegal. Not a U.S. citizen? It is illegal to vote — always has been and always will be whether it says “every” or “only.”

Two reasons for this waste of taxpayer money is that first it continues the lie people who are not U.S. citizens are voting in our elections. Secondly, these same lawmakers already have template legislation on file to add proof of citizenship on top of photo ID in order to remain on the voter rolls.

How quickly could you produce your original birth certificate in order to remain on the voter rolls or poll book? Warning to married women who took your husband’s name — birth certificate does not match name on voter poll? Add your marriage license to birth certificate and photo ID.

Vote no and tell Republicans to do the real work we elected them to do — actions that benefit our working families, public schools, and environment.
