Exercise Your Right to Vote

This is an appeal to all eligible voters to go and exercise their rights on November 2nd and vote in the general election.

Let me begin with a very relevant quote from independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader from his 2000 campaign: "I hear you say often that you're not turned on to politics. Well, let me bring to bear the lessons of history. If you're not turned on to politics, the lesson of history is that politics will turn on you."

While voting certainly is not all there is to involvement in politics, an educated vote is the basic foundation on which an active and mature political life is based. Whether any candidate with enough chances of being elected will actually respond to your needs is not a relevant concern in this case, for it is only through more involvement in the political process that politicians will start paying attention to certain groups in society.

The basic fact is that we the people are in charge, not wealthy politicians or their corporate sponsors. It is only through the disgraceful negligence of voters over the past decades that politicians have been able to get away with presenting their constituents with lukewarm, ready made sound bite based platforms, which essentially consist of nothing more than a rehashing of often outdated ideals.

Don't believe the McCarthy worshippers when they try to tell you that the above are communist (or whatever kind of people happen to be hip to hate at the time) ideals. Read the documents from the time of our founding fathers and you will see that they are very much American ideals that have only become foreign through their creative castration by members of the elite in possession of ulterior motives.

So before you proudly declare yourself a Republican, Democrat or independent, take pride in the fact that it is you who are in charge of continuing to execute the master plan laid out at the declaration of our independence. Let no nation, man or woman strip America of its status as the greatest nation on earth.
