It seems as though we are being counterproductive by discouraging our citizens to vote. There has always been the idea to "get out the vote", get the people to the polls to vote. Why stop now? We need the government to reflect the will of the people. This movement to control by claiming smaller government is needed is really limiting our rights and freedom. Listen to what the people say- if you listen to the "Occupiers of Wall Street" you will understand what I am referring to.
