Trilingual

Dear Editor:Bellflower recently sent out to voters a real slick, 4-page, expensive high priced paper 8 1/2 by 11 inches, real colorful pamphlet in three separate languages which could have been put in the Sample Ballot Booklet. And they claim to be hurting for money all along. Putting the sample ballot in three languages is the goofiest thing enacted by American politicians, no matter which party they belong to. No other country in this world does it for foreigners residing within. My Pop had to learn to read and speak English, and know a little of our Constitution before becoming a citizen and being allowed to vote. That was a long process to achieve also. It is also discriminating against all the other 57 variety nationalities. This is political division, not uniting all. All politicians who voted to do this travesty have done so only for their own evil election of self. And probably would want to sell America down the tubes too. Enough of this stuff! Provisional ballots should not be allowed as real registered voters have more than enough time to register in precincts prior to election day. Another fraud on the American people. -- Joe Cvetko, Bellflower
