Are You Worried About Wasting Your Vote?

In case your 'objective media source' hasn't told you... Bush has openly and explicitly stated - 1. Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction 2. Bin Laden is not connected to Iraq 3. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 4. two planes destroyed 3 buildings on 9-11 (twin towers and tower 7 [a 52 story building, which happened to crumble at free fall speed because of "debris"]). All of which has justified unprecedented governmental expansion and loss of liberty (bills voted down by Congress were swapped and modified hours before vote, so Congress would be forced to vote on bills they've never read).

Today, you either have to be living with blinders on, or just have unquestioning belief and full faith in corporate news, to not know that America has basically gone to hell. I mean, everybody knows that the news is controlled, right? That, while much of the time reporters do the best they can, they often are compelled to leave out some things and thus are biased, no matter how "fair and balanced" they market themselves as. All the while, we're our losing rights at an accelerating rate and now we're facing the frightening threat of losing our founding documents completely. If this is news to you, I invite you to search youtube or google for 'american sovereignty' or 'constitution' and see for yourself the vast number of people trying to awake the people to this reality.

It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Whether, this is the clinical definition, or not, we can agree that this would not be a smart way to run a country, or even a business for that matter. However, every election we're told that if we don't want to waste our vote then we have to vote for one of the "leading candidates". Though, rarely do we think about about exactly what this really means. We end up deciding that we have to pick from the best one out of the bad bunch, or just the one that sounds the best or that we like the most - but when is the last time you truly shared the convictions and values of your candidate. Is "winning" so important that you will put your beliefs aside to be able to say "I won"? ....Or, is it even really winning at all when you have to 'lower your bar' for a candidate who the media has told you has the best shot.

Most every candidate for presidency has held some office before and when they take this office they swear an oath to "defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic". This is a very serious oath which our founders made sure all legislators and all public officials would be required to take - for good reason too! The founding documents immortalized, and literally manifested the free world we know today. However, McCain and Obama consistently have voted to trample the Constitution, by going along with the Bush administrations agendas to expand federal power and both candidates have said they will continue what Bush has started. Do you really feel right putting your name under a man who cannot keep his solemn oath(s)?

Being an American means standing for your rights and standing for principles. So, when you compromise them, only then do you truly lose your vote - whats more, is that you end up losing your rights as well as I expect we may soon have to learn the hard way. I only hope that 'We The People' can learn to do our duty and uphold the principles and values of all those who've died for our country. Remember, they took an oath to defend our Constitution too. They fought to their last breath to protect your rights and freedom. Honor their service by standing your ground, to your last breath, to do the same.

I only ask what will become of us if no longer choose to do what is right?

However, maybe it was best put by RFK:
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Robert F. Kennedy
