Thursday, February 17, 2005 No, not an American LOS ANGELES - Canadian Alanis Morissette (news) is now an American citizen. Apparently Alanis took an oath of citizenship in which she renounced any loyalty to any other nation, but did it with her fingers crossed like Peter Jennings did. I wish there was a way to make our government revoke their citizenship for violating their oaths. The 30-year-old singer was among some 4,500 people who took the citizenship oath during a ceremony last week at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Morissette isn't turning her back on Canada — she's maintaining dual citizenship. The oath of allegiance is: (in part) Sorry, Alanis, you are not welcome to my country nor anyone else who maintains a dual citizenship. I will not tolerate divided loyalties and escape clauses. Your very first act as an American was to break your word to her, to violate your sacred oath. posted by Mark Butterworth | 4:03 PM | |
