What's 'vote' in Spanish?

All the pizzerias in Chicago, and many here in Seattle (!) are run by Greeks.

Sadly, the only places in NY where you can still find pizza made by Italians is in the outer boroughs and suburbia (the places in Manhattan are owned by Greeks, Albanians and Arabs, but staffed with Mexicans).

BTW: Pizza was invented in Naples. The original pizza, however, was tomatoes, basil, and garlic. Cheese was added a few years later.

Oldest Pizzeria in America is Lombardi's on Spring Street in Manhattan. The places on Wooster street in New Haven are still pretty good, though.

After 10 to 15 years in the United States, some 75 percent of all Hispanic immigrants are speaking English regularly, and virtually all their children will speak English. ( http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-9221/spanish.htm )

Therefore the majority of those who do speak Spanish, 10s of millions in the US then are for the most part 75% Mexican nationals visitors and not US citizens who would have the right to vote anyhow!

The money would be better spent on having these politicians learn how to communicate with their won constituency !

For example all the leading candidates for Los Angels mayor race endorse drivers licences for illegal immigrants and the use of Mexican ID, even though a new pol out to day suggest that the majority of people in California reject handing out state issued IDs, and paying taxes for services to the citizens of foreign countries such as Mexico.

I'd rather the phrase, "DON'T VOTE" was translated into Spanish.

They post the same stories, often. The state news page is generally identical. Owned by the same people?

My first language is English, I do however speak Spanish fluently but have only been able to do it for about 4 years now and that is due to study and travel. Even though I could live quite comfortably in a Spanish speaking country and have no real problems communicating or carrying on an in-depth conversation with someone, my language is still English. When I lived in Mexico, after a while it was nice to run into people who spoke English whom I could converse with. It is the language I grew up with and the language in which I have the deepest vocabulary. Four years of learning cannot equate to the entirety of my life in English. My point(finally!) is this....even when someone is able to speak a language fluently there is something to be said for hearing and speaking their native tongue to someone else. It is not necessarily someone who refuses to learn English in a case like this.

The leading candidates for the Los Angeles mayoral election probably understand that the majority of people in California do not have a vote in the Los Angeles mayoral election.

LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH, YOU ARE IN AMERICA NOW!!!

My sentiments exactly.

But unfortunately, these days, we are being made to assimilate to other cultures, other than they to ours.

My daughter is a teacher in an urban high school, and she had to sit through a MANDATORY lecture about being sensitive to Muslim students, and their culture (given by a women so covered up she couldn't even see her face). No kidding!

Needless to say, this is her last year in the teaching profession.

well yes ; they want to let every citizen in Mexico vote in the city elections so their numbers would dwarf the majority of Californians, even if we let the whole state vote!

It depends on the definition of "pizza." In New Haven, they insist that the "Pizza Margherita" developed in Italy was not a real pizza as we know it today and that the real "apizza" (as they insist it should be called) was developed in New Haven.


"Oldest Pizzeria in America is Lombardi's on Spring Street in Manhattan."

New Haven disputes that claim. Unless the claim is that Lombardi's is America's longest continuously running pizzeria, which could very well be the case.
