If I weren't born in the United States and instead became a citizen through a naturalization ceremony, I'd totally want to do it like this.Stories like this, of over 3000 people pledging and becoming citizens of the 
United States of America at a ceremony in Fenway Park, always make me cry -- but in a good way. In a sentimental way that reminds me that, no matter the failings, there's still hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of other people who want to be here as citizens, because really--where's the better option? No where.

Bad ACLU liberal hippie vegetarian. Bad. I can't believe I'm praising my country on my blog. It's soooo patriotic of me. But guess what conservative republicans? Liberals put their country first, too. Anyway, back to the story--the cutest part was that the majority of the new citizens from Fenway Park was that they were from Dominican Republic, just like David Ortiz! Love it!
Congratulations and have your registered to vote yet?
