I will vote green, reform, independant, or others!
Mainstream voters tell me "that's throwing away your vote"
I say it's not!
To throw away a vote is not to vote
If more people kept this in mind
The rep./dem. would not dominate america.

I so whole heartedly agree. A lot of my friends just don't vote because they don't like the democrat/republican canidates. As a whole, at least 50% of the US does not vote. One year there was a voter turn out of 30%. That's 30% who get to control the other 70% who didn't vote because they didn't like the 2 main parties. If just 20% of those people who don't vote, voted 3rd party, we would have a viable 3 party system instead of just 2 party. Sometimes I just want to smack my friends over the head with same beer we're drinking while talking about this, because they think that no vote is better than voting for the "two evil's"
People just arn't educated enough because they think politics are dirty. I'm not saying they arn't, but bitch about getting dirty if you're not willing help contain the mud from being slung.
