How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth?

Attila Dimedici writes "Two thirds of the students at NYU would give up their right to vote in the next election for a full scholarship. Some would be satisfied with an ipod. A few would be willing to give up the right for the rest of their lives for one million dollars."

"One CAS junior went even further, writing that "anyone who'd sell his lifelong right to vote should be deported.""

F'ing AMEN to that!

My family fought in the Revolutionary war, war of 1812, civl war, and every major war this country has fought. My step-father, my brother and I all served in Operatin Desert Storm. Damit my whole family has fought for the right to vote and it's not for sale!

The problem is the U.S. Government is bought and paid for by big corporations! Someone who wants to -REALLY- change things -can't- get elected. So technically your vote -really- doesn't count - which is a very sad thing.

I think EVERY one that is reading this should be out yelling from roof tops that we need to vote EVERY SINGLE incumbant OUT! They are -ALL- crooks! From Bush to Ron Paul. You can't trust -any- of them.

Take the time to read about how/why our government was formed, understand the real concept of why our government was -ORIGINALLY- founded the way it was. It was originally meant for an average person to go into public service/office for the specific term, work -FOR- the people and in the -BEST INTEREST- of the people. Then when your term was over you went back to your "civilian" life again and let someone else take their turn. It was never meant to be a FRIGGEN career for your whole FRIGGEN life! And it sure as hell wasn't meant to be a wholesale rubber stamp for corporations!

For the folks that are from the U.S. start taking back our government before it's too late, it may already be past that point - who knows. But start telling EVERYONE you know and meet - give them facts - facts about the corruption of our WHOLE government. Tell them we need to as a whole vote against -ALL- incumbants! Send them a STRONG message that we won't put up with their CRAP anymore! The democrats were heavily voted into power in congress but what have they done? a BIG FAT FRIGGEN ZERO! Nothing, Nada. They are as worthless as the republicans. If it was time for a third party to rise up and take power - NOW is the time. I don't care WHO you vote for, but if it's a democrat or republican your voting for more of the same crap!

Think long and hard my friends before you cast your vote... Do you want more of the same or do you want REAL change. And if your considering "selling your vote" - well ... F@#$ OFF! and move to China! We don't F@#$ing want you here you worthless bastard!
