Staying away from the polls is no answer either.

Wrong.

As long as they can be confident in "owning" our votes regardless of how much they betray our principles, nothing will change -- except for the worse.

They have GOT to learn that they do not "own" our votes. They have GOT to learn that they must earn our votes.

It is really that simple.

I heard you stomp your foot all the way down to Houston.

I agree with you there, however - I am from Minnesota where we do not have enough electoral votes to tip things one way or the other. Minnesota is traditionally made up of democratic voters (not to include me of course), but the last presidential election, Minnesota voted republican. I was shocked! For Minnesota that was making a pretty big statement. I think Minnesota proved that it was possible for Minnesota votes to swing either way even if it wasn't going to count. With not enough electoral votes in my state - all we have left to offer is making a statement. I think our last statement was pretty pronounced for anyone caring to acknowledge it. I hope someone did. Here in Minnesota we don't feel bad knowing how little our vote counts. It's just a fact and we accept it.
