VK: Do what I did for years and I encourage other to do.

Vote 3rd party - wait and hear me out.

Find a candidate you like, no matter how "fringe" and vote for him or her. Encourage others to the same.

Imagine, for a moment, what would happen if all the people who didn't like the GOP or Democrat candidate did that. We have 50% non-voting in this country right now. For the most part, those who DO vote split it 50-50 plus or minus a couple percentage points. But what if the next election looked like this:

Obama: 25%
GOP Candidate: 25%
Hundreds of 3rd party candidates: 50%

*THAT* would be a wake-up call to Washington and MAYBE we could at least get a viable THIRD party going here.

Right now, people say they don't vote for their person because they have no chance of winning - well, winning isn't everything.. If you don't vote, your voice is SILENT.
