I don't know if this has been said already but the key to get politicians to listen is to vote. During these rallys in order to get your voices heard you must scare the politicians into wanting to act. If they aren't scared then they will not act but rather they will look over top of you. Voting regristration should be happening during these protests to instill the fear in them. Nothing scares a career politican more then having turnout rates rise. So in order to challege the thinking of this country we must get the 99 percent activiated in the voting process. This country is notorious for having extremly low turnout rates for all elections. All elections count if you really want to change this country. We can change the country but we must do it by getting those out of office that will not do right by the people. It is finally time for the people to take back the government.

This is definitely one of the least popular ideas on this web site. I posted this earlier today:

It was one of the few messages today to fade away without a single response. Voting is just not what people around here are thinking about. Which means that this whole thing is doomed from the beginning.
