Voting for REAL Change, Not Empty Promises
Tired of big government? Constant regulation? Taxes and irresponsible spending? War? It’s time to go beyond the current two-party system. By their actions, not necessarily words, both parties support war, government surveillance and reckless spending.
The Republicans argue that a vote for Bob Barr is “stealing” votes from John McCain and are quite concerned that disgruntled conservatives who do not vote for McCain will be giving Obama the election. The Democrats worry that a vote for Ralph Nader is “stealing” votes from Barack Obama. Since when is voting for the platform that you believe in “stealing”? Neither candidate in the two-party system is automatically “entitled” to your vote just because you may have liberal tendencies or conservative tendencies.
The only way we will actually see change is by voting our conscience and by participating in the political process. Politicians on state and federal levels need to be held accountable for their votes and actions. No politician is “entitled” to a vote unless he or she earns it.
