Do you want real change in our government? I'm not talking about the change that Obama spoke of this past election cycle. I'm talking about real change. A government that pays attention to you and not Exxon, a government that cares about your family and not ACORN, A government that pays attention to all the people not just the ones rich enough to contribute to their campaigns. I have an answer.
STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure all of you heard that, so I'll say it again: STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know that there are at least 51 political parties in the good ol' USA. I bet most of you reading this can't name more than six. Personlly I thought that there were 10 at the most. Only TWO of them get any money from the government. Talk about taxation without representaion.
The Dems. and Reps. have rigged the system. In our country a political party HAS to garner at least 10% of the vote in the previous presidential election to receive elections funds from the federal government. The only party in recent history to achieve this goal was Ross Perot's Reform party and that only lasted from 1992 to 1996.
In Great Britain, there are at least 158 recognized parties for a populas of about 59 million That is ruffly the population of California and Texas combined. We have nearly 304 million people in the USA, and TWO parties that have a stranglehold on American politics.
I'm sure that some of you are asking yourselves how do we change this? The answer is simple. STOP VOTING REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!!! Personally I have only voted for three major party candidates in the last 28 years (Reagan, G.H Bush, and McCain). Every time I have voted I pulled the lever for the person I thought most closely represented my beliefs. I have voted form Reformers, Libritarians, and even one independent.
Vote for one of the other 49. Do a little research and vote for the man or woman that represents YOU, I don't care if it's the Libritarian Party, the Pot party, the American Nazi Party, the Democrats or Republicans. Just find out which one represents you. It dosen't mater if your candidate wins, what matters is that all of our populas are represented and that won't happen till all the parties get federal funding and the playing field is leveled.
If you want more info on the choices you have I found this website very helpful. www.politics1.com/parties.htm

I agree that no vote is ever wasted, even if you write in Alfred E. Newman. The waste is when you sit on your a$$ and do nothing.
