until there in someone like Nader who knows that WE must get rid of the corporate/government connection. I voted for Nader last time and people told me I was wasting my vote. No, I didn't waste a vote. It was all those idiot americans that still believed dems and repubs are different. They are the same. Both are corporate slags. Obama is a corporate slag. Otherwise, let obama/palin/some random skin head/a lush/a theif in as president. They're all the same amerika. Wake the F up!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a start: Term Limits for Congress NOW!! https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/introduce-legislation-place-term-limits-all-members-congress-two-4-year-terms/4J81sHWy
Why would it matter if only conservatives vote? Term limits aren't the problem, the problem is that only 24% of eligible young voters bothered to cast votes in the 2010 election against Tea Party candidates. And now instead of mobilizing an opposing vote, the Wall Street protesters are swearing off voting, while chanting the slogan, "This is what democracy looks like." No, it isn't. VOTING is what democracy looks like.
love it
It's no mystery why the Tea Party has a disproportionate influence on government policy. It's because they vote!
If this movement is unable to translate its momentum into votes then the whole thing will be remembered as an ineffective publicity stunt.
Vote for the pirate party! That's what I'm planning on in the next Swedish election... or the donald duck party. But consider this, if you don't vote then your voice is crushed. It's better to "waste your vote" than not vote at all. Cause then people might notice that the elected party had the most votes, but not a real majority.
I've come to the conclusion that everyone else in the room is asleep, then the whole concept of voting is crushed even if I wanted to vote.
thanks, I'm signing it right now. However, this is really way too small. THere should be NO connection between congressman and BIG business. Period
I'll sign it...
I usually "waste my vote", also. I figure, one of these days, people are going to wake up.
