I vote with my wallet. I simply won't visit states that abuse citizens. If people in the outlying counties of any state are unhappy with their political leadership then get off your tush and vote. You can't tell me that the population centers have more voters than the outlying counties. Don't take your right to vote for granted.
At risk of getting too political on a thread that can be nothing but political.
I agree everybody should vote. But is that all? IMHO, at least as important as the vote is educate yourself. What are your representatives (all levels) talking of doing in your name. If they are talking about a action that will effect you, contact them, let them know what action you prefer they take. And most important, keep track, do they vote in your interest? What they do is more important than their ads, at election time know how to vote.
I wish instead of the little "I voted" sticker we could paint a finger so everybody you saw for a couple of weeks would know you did not vote. Then when you started to witch others could say You had a say, but now you let others take your rights.
