Amen, time to vote, and change society each election.

shame on you. I call for a move to get as many people as possible to STOP voting. What would they do if nobody showed up to vote? That would be GREAT. Our votes mean nothing - the ones that vote only demonstrate that the propaganda is working and the masses are brain washed.

What would they do if people stopped voting. Go on about their business as usual. The few who vote will pick the winners. The politicians wont even notice.

As the politicians themselves are registered to vote, they only need their own vote to stay in power then. Good plan there guy.

Yes! And here is something to vote about.

The Congress That Crashed America - Actionable Political Information http://occupywallst.org/forum/the-congress-that-crashed-america-actionable-polit/#comment-314397

Here is a list: http://home.ptd.net/~aahpat/aandc/congcrash.html , that I composed for the 2010 elections of all of the still sitting in 2010 members of congress who voted in 1999 for S-900. There are also links to the official vote for S-900 so people can see the politicians who today are governors and or elected or appointed officials who voted for the financial collapse of America in 1999.

Me too. Straight line Republican. We're about one year out from getting rid of obama and humiliating him and Moochelle.

Vote Tea Party!

Because we can vote all we want and feel like we have control over what happens in our country, but it is a lie and that is why OWS!

If voting mattered then why are we in the mess we are in? Just curious.

It matters, just not as much as it should

Just in case there is someone on here who hasn't tried it. One time and you are hooked for life.

Local offices and state ballot issues

I see. In California we piggyback local elections on the same day as federal elections to save $$$. As a curious side effect, all the black people who came out to vote for Obama in 2008 managed to get a state law opposing gay marriage pushed through, since blacks tend to oppose gay marriage.

If the two elections were not on the same ballot, it would have never happened.

Local elections are today.
