[QUOTE="av8r115, post: 1736563"] I can appreciate why some think there's no point in even voting. The government has gotten so big it's hard to even keep track of all the crap that's going on. But I think this apathy is the very thing that Ben Franklin was talking about when he said we had a Republic "if we could keep it." The only way our form of government works is if the average citizen accepts and acts on the responsibility to hold our representatives accountable. The more ruckus we make about them doing their job and shrinking the government, the sooner we're going to get our country and our freedoms back. It's taken 100 years to come to the point that we elected a would-be dictator. We're not going to fix it in one election. But every person that takes some kind of action is one more step in the right direction. Just like compound interest, it adds up. Ask the liberals... they proved it by pushing us to this point.
