A Kosovo war refugee and recently minted US citizen just voted for the first time!
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 03:08 PM by SoonerPride
Just sent me a text message, and I quote:

"I BA-rocked the vote."

:)

He became a US citizen just two months ago and immediately registered to vote.

I love our country (even though I am not a real American)

1. That's wonderful!
Like you, I'm not a real American, since I'm a liberal. I'm hoping to have some PRIDE in my country after today. I think when they give it to Barack, I'm going to burst out in tears. Having trouble keeping it together even now.

2. His story is really rough, having to escape a war torn country and all
He's a Muslim and his family was lucky to escape alive.

He just became a US citizen and is bursting at the seams with pride in being able to vote!

5. Thanks for the happy story, even if your Sooners kicked my
husker's butt last Saturday. Congrats, by the way!
