This is the case Ralph Nader and the Green Party have been trying to
make for a long time. If only people realized what power they are not
exercising. Voting the lesser of two evils is never going to get us out
of the mess we're in because the two major parties are complicit.
Every four years the issues are the same. It never changes, yet the
rhetoric and promises do. No matter who gets in the White House the
war will continue, healthcare, education, jobs, and living wage will
continue to be an issue.
The problem is the American people have been brainwashed into
believing there's nothing they can do about the corruption, but that's
not true. The power of the people is in their vote. Their vote can send
a message.
My vote will always go to Ralph Nader because he has been fighting for
the people all his life and he is at a point where he can't be dismissed.
He has earned the respect of the media, and the American people.
People are waiting with bated breath to see what he will do. I say run
Ralph run!
