- Very nice lens. You've given a great overview of some third party options. No matter which political party you belong to, you need to make your vote count. I'd love for you to stop by my lens and say hello when you get the chance.

- Many people I talk to often vote for the lesser of two evils. However the winner claims those votes as votes FOR him or her. Other people don't vote at all because they don't like anyone enough to go to the polls for. Too many people just don't care enough to bother deciding which crook (for so the candidates often seem) to vote against or seeing what other issues are on the ballot
What I propose is as follows:
EVERYONE who CAN vote should go and do so. If none of the candidates in a given race are ones you could vote FOR, then don't vote for anyone for that position. Nothing says you have to vote on every position or issue on the ballot. Even if there's only one issue that you know and care about at all, GO AND VOTE FOR THAT ISSUE ONLY!!! If 1,000 people cast ballots at a given precinct but the winner of any particular race only gets 150 votes that sends a message loud and clear. NOTA (None Of The Above) doesn't have to be formally on the ballot to be the de facto winner.
