State Democrats despoil democracy - BostonHerald.com
I see this quite differently. Perhaps you do, too.
Hopefully, a lot of people do when it next comes time to vote for or against her...

This is in an article by Michael Graham in the Boston Herald:
"Rep. Pam Richardson of Framingham wants the Massachusetts Democratic Party to advocate voting rights for illegal aliens.
You read that right. A handful of liberal Massachusetts towns already allow legal resident aliens to vote in local elections. But Richardson wants illegal immigrants canceling out your vote for school committee and town selectman.
And she wants the state Democratic Party to lead the way.
Last month, at a local party platform meeting in Framingham, Richardson looked into a video camera and bemoaned the unfairness of the crimmigrants’ plight:
'We have a large population of people living here who don’t have the same rights and opportunities of the rest of us,' she complained. 'I’m talking about undocumented immigrants.'
Most 'unfair,' she argues, is their exclusion from our democratic process.
'They don’t feel that they have anyone to represent them [in government]. It’s because they’re not part of the democracy,' Richardson told fellow Democrats."
