| Mentally Ill Woman Becomes US Citizen To Protest Bush |
| 2005-08-18 |
| Actress Margot Kidder became a citizen of the U.S. Wednesday to avoid possible deportation to her native Canada when she begins protesting the war in Iraq, she said. Kidder, best known for playing Lois Lane in the motion picture "Superman," was among 19 people who became citizens during a naturalization ceremony in federal court here. "It means I can vote against anyone and everyone in elected office that in any way supported the Bush administration," said Kidder, 56, who has lived in this country for 34 years and has a residence in Livingston. Dave Routzahn, director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Helena, vouched for her and the 18 other applicants. He said they have displayed good moral character, have been living in this country and are dedicated to its form of government. Kidder said in an interview after the ceremony that her sole motivation was to protest the war in Iraq. She also criticized the Gulf War in the 1990s. |

| #5 Idjit just blew what could have been a great career move in Hollyweird. Think about it...."I got deported protesting Fascism!" She'd have gotten a role or two out of that. Now, she just gets a press release from jail. Dork. |

| #1 Sounds like Dave Routzahn is full of it. Or just a fool. (or both) Margot Kidder has good moral character? What's he been smoking? Time was we rejected mental defectives as immigrants, let alone naturalized citizens. Now at least some people welcome them. (Like attracting like?) >:-( |
