Vote: You

That's right, I said it, VOTE for YOU! Sounds crazy, right?

Wrong.

Every vote counts, and not voting simply opens the floodgates for canidates to come bursting out on top--guns a'blazing. A mere smear campaign prior to election time could bring about the demise of one or the other. And imagine how the youth and revolutionists will react when the dear and beloved R.P. doesn't make it into the final leg of the race. Thousands upon thousands, if not millions, of citizens will not vote. They will make the mistake of following the George Carlin thought process that by not voting you have every right to bitch about the elected official that EVERYONE ELSE voted in. But, not you...you're not to blame. No one is to blame. No one is to blame because it's all a rigged system--everything from the electoral college right on down to the comforting thought that "You're Vote Counts." Who cares who wins or loses when every player is on the same team? Ok, so they may wear different colors (parties) and wave different flags (ideals) but they all show up to the same dinner parties in their luxurious garb, smoking cigars worth more than some peon's paycheck, and shaking the same greasy hands of all the world's most voraciously vile villains.

They are the Left, They are the Right.

They know that they have sold out. Put their soul in the 50 cent bin. Slung their own kind up on the slaughterhouse meathooks for a meager profit to keep them happy for today while raping our tomorrow. Will they try to trade our pain for sorrow? Feed us enough pharmies and we will gladly wallow in our sorrow and forget our pain. But, pain is not meant to be forgotten. We deal with what pains us in order to rise from it. Pain has lessons to teach. Lessons that they don't want us to hear. Instead, most of us reach for our mayonaisse jars of Xanax and turn off.

But enough with that, I mean, simply ask yourself in whose best interest would it be to pump a nation full of pharmaceuticals that render the ABuser a mindless robot void of emotions and any form of critical thinking? Who could benefit from this sort of behaviour? In whose best interest?

Not yours.

However, there is a solution. A fairly simple answer to this endless conundrum we've let ourselves get involved in.

Who would have values, morals, ideals that keep your best interests at heart?

YOU!

That's why I propose that this coming election year be a year of change. A year to unmask the wrong-doers and quiet the faux soothsayers. Let us pull the veil from our government and let the world see the meager skin and bones of it all. Let us discover the truth of whether your VOTE truly matters or NOT by VOTING for YOU.

Please, for the sake of our dwindling life support system a.k.a. Earth, go to your local polling place and mark the box with your name. This is not a matter of ego or personal ideologies. This is a matter of whether or not the system which we reign in the most powerful leaders in the world works for the betterment of humanity or evil.

Imagine how they will react. Imagine if a majority of the population were to vote themselves into office. How do you rig a vote in your favor when no one has voted for you?

You don't even have to vote for yourself. Vote for a friend, a family member, your dog, or--better yet--write in 'America.' If only America could run America, then maybe something could get done. Hell, even if you vote for Matt Snyder we may have a chance. Stop voting those money-grubbing corporate-thugs into office. We have seen what it leads to time after time and no one likes a Bitcher & a Moaner.

Your vote does count, if you make it count.

I will end with a quote from a not-so -celebrated, but all-too-famous revolutionist:

"Better to die standing, than live on your knees."


Sincerely yours,
