I would say one of the most American things you can do is to vocalize your dissent with policy when it occurs. American was not formed on blind patriotism. In fact one of the clauses of our founding documents states as Americans it is our duty to stand up to our government when it isn't fitting our needs. While one way of doing this is voting it is not the only way our founding fathers intended us to do it. This is why they placed free speech, free press, and arguably the right to bear arms into our constitution.
