I politely disagree with voting making any difference to solve the current problems in our country...how can I say this? Well, I'm an experienced past voter who has identified as democrat, GOP, and Libertarian in my lifetime (that's THREE parties!) In the TWENTY years I was a voter, not one of those elections changed my life for the better or worse. Only actions I TOOK did.

I DO agree with being productive, influencing others, and working together locally to do our own things outside of and bypassing the tyrannical systems keeping folks down. That's what I do in my own community. We rely on each other, not the state.
