I have voted in the past and I would agree that some young adults have a hard time getting excited about voting. Hopefully, in the future everyonje will get excited about this freedom that we have.

They don't represent or serve the best interests of anyone except their corporate puppetmasters. I would also recommend voting out ANY incumbent from Congress that voted us into this mess.

Vote your conscience, ALWAYS, and for the most principled person in the race. Just being a maverick isn't enough. WHAT IS THE RECORD he's/she's running on, and the platform? Look at ALL the issues, and stay away from WEDGE issues like abortion and gay marriage. Do not be a ONE issue voter. Check it out, and verify your candidate's qualifications and fitness for the office he or she is seeking. Vote for CHARACTER! May what is happening to us now make us better people.

This country has not had a govenment that worked for the people since the 50's. It is totally fascist in its operation. The media is complicit in the coverup. The floride in our water makes us stupid and docile. The nazies put floride in the water at the concentration camps for the same reasons. Lobbists should be illegal especially the Israeli lobby. Look at how those buildings fell, full of bombs. 911 was so obviously an inside job people are afraid to face the truth. people need to wake up and have a revolution in this country. 95% of our elected represenatives should be put up against a wall and shot.
