"Each of us must find within us the individual courage and initiative to perform one simple rebellious act – refuse to use the computerized voting machines or any other machine ballot.

Instead of responding like laboratory animals pushing a button in response to the stimulus of the latest ten-second television smear ad, we can each take a little longer to carefully consider the candidates presented on the ballot by the various political parties.

Once we decide, we can demonstrate our literacy and our power by clearly writing in our personal choice for president of the United States, whether or not his or her name is on the ballot!

Presently, half of all voters don’t bother going to the polls and less than one quarter actually elect the president for all of us. Imagine the immense power that would flow to the people if voting truly became universal."

If Bush doesn't pardon everyone and his brother before his term is up (which I am still holding on to my theory he isn't going) then the Do-nothing-Democrats will do nothing.

Mike, I know you are a jokester but you keep saying that you will vote for Obama. Perhaps in the beginning when he was leaning towards getting the troops out of Iraq but you can now see with this Georgia thing that he will go the way of Clinton in Bosnia. Any way you look at it, he means more war too. Even Ron Paul was leaning towards Obama but if you listen to his speech he now says that both candidates are false, something to that effect. I see you have Jesse Ventura on next week, in his speech he said the lesser of two evils is still evil. He also said that a vote for another party is not a wasted vote, look to him as example in his Independent run. I hope you will follow up on this topic with him.

Personally, I will vote for any one who puts Ron Paul on the ballot, if that fails then I will write in Ron Paul for President. If it is electronic voting, I will write Ron Paul on a piece on paper and hand it to them.
