No comment on foreigners wishing to become citizens actually having to learn something before getting to vote?
Being a citizen of the United States is a privilege and the rights that go along with it should be treated the same way.

I like the idea of a citizen/resident policy.
Citizens pay taxes, contribute, educate themselves, serve the country in the military or other civic duties and therefore get to choose who runs things.
Residents live and sometimes work here. Path to citizenship-see above.

Citizens United, still think the Supreme court is perfect?

If you are unhappy with our current Constitution, especially the most fundamental right that founded this country, and you wish to overthrow our Constitution and replace it with a plutocracy or meritocracy, I'm not buying.

I do wish to overthrow our government, pretty much the whole thing, all branches, both parties, and go back to using the Constitution to run the country. As opposed to "interpreting" it (last I checked it is in English) to make whatever you want it to say feasible as is done now.
