Why Vote?

A friend sent me an email today asking if I was going to vote. What  
difference did it make anyhow?

The difference is this time it matters because the people need a  
little help and the Republicans and Republicrats only wanna continue  
to rob the dumb customers (the American People) just as they always  
have. And they can stand together to do this despite their hatred of  
each other while we common folk cannot stand together despite our  
love for our fellow Americans. That is the secret of their strength  
and that is the secret of our weakness, to paraphrase Dostoevsky.

What that means at this time is that we common folk can choose to do  
nothing and allow the actual military industrial forces that are now  
involved in a struggle for dominance in the areas that are energy  
sources to continue to sap our economy to pay for their power. Or we  
can stand together for our common good and demand that the government  
address our common needs. Our needs like affordable health care and  
housing for ALL of us. Like jobs that pay enough to provide for our  
needs even after the confiscatory taxation most of us are subject to.  
Like a few years of peace, prosperity and respect in the world as a  
great nation again.

Who are you voting for?
Vote for your self.
Vote Democratic.
Please forward this.
