Why do I bother to go to the polls, again?
Was the 2004 Election Stolen? by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen/1 Well written article. Read it. No. Seriously. I want every one of you to read it.
I wonder what the hell is wrong with my country when only part of the country cares about this.
Is having your guy win, worth giving up your country?
When power decides, and not the people, who are we any more?
If you have to LIE, CHEAT, INTIMIDATE, BADGER, and BREAK THE LAW to win, how do you sleep at night? Safe in the knowledge that you're "right" so it's Okay??!!?!
I'd been putting off reading this article. I knew it was going to be upsetting. I really just want to curl up in a ball and cry.
We need REAL vote reform in this country NOW. For everyone. If anyone's vote doesn't count, than NONE of them count and we are really a farce of what we tell ourselves we are.
This article isn't really about a past election. It's not about Red Vs Blue or Bush vs Kerry. It's more about the future of our country and what we want it to be.
Is it acceptable to us, as a country, to deny voices to people because we don't agree with them? Will we let this continue?
