Real Change and "Wasting your Vote

By Wayne Dunlap

Real change will not come from trading power back and forth from the two major political parties. They are too entrenched in political favors to affect real change.

Many Americans do not agree with their chosen political party but worry they will elect someone even worse when they change their vote to the other dominant political party. Or they believe that they can effect change by voting for the other political party. In actuality, either major political party you vote for is lead to believe that you are now endorsing their policies. Remember when President Bush won by the slimmest of margins, even losing the popular vote, and then claimed a "mandate" for his policies.

Don't waste your vote! A vote for a third party candidate is the only way to get their attention, change their beliefs, and bring about real change. By failing to vote for what you truly want you are telling the politicians that you endorse their usual high tax, big government agenda. It is time to put choice and responsibility back into your hands.

The Libertarian Party is the largest third party in America with 600 elected officials nationwide truly representing hard working taxpayers in American and supporting issues close to the hearts of residents in the 50th District.
