Why Vote?

Why should I bother to vote? After all, in New York, the dead are voting in record numbers. Chuck Norris says to vote for conservatives. Well there's none on the ballot anywhere near me (including the judges). I'll let you know if I spot one.

Some people that claim to like freedom are voting Democrat to teach those nasty big-government Republicans a lesson -- presumably by attempting to replace them with bigger government Democrats. And heck, according to the media, the Democrats have already won. Maybe the dead are winning with large amounts of "early voting."

Around the world, leftists are winning. Why should the US be any different? Why shouldn't we give up on freedom? Where on this entire planet, is freedom expanding? Where is freedom successful in the 21st century? It works everywhere it's tried, but no one is trying it any more.

The only possible tiny glimmer of hope for freedom left on the planet lies with The Free State Project -- and they can't seem to find 20,000 people on the entire damn planet that are interested in freedom. And oh yes, I've signed up. And I've joined as part of the first 1,000. So where's everyone else who wants freedom?

1 Why vote? Because my country needs me.

2 But Oddy, you're not on my ballot and in North Carolina, it's against the law to write-in people you really want to vote for.

3 What, no write in ballots? [shakes her head in disbelief]

So,as one of the first 1,000 do you get a T-shirt?

4 If we get 1,000, we'll get much more than t-shirts! We'll get freedom.

5 I hope the first 1000 works! I've signed up as a "friend" of the FSP a while back. Busy making noise in OC, but depending on the state of the nation, NH is looking better and better. Maybe sooner than later. My kids are busy working for a scholarship in Water polo, and i just don't see NH being an advantage for them at this time. :-)
When they're in college and I retire, I go up there and raise some hell with you.

6 I've heard from those already on the ground there that it's a good time -- I'm ready to cram some freedom down some people's throats, whether they want it or not.

7 If my wife wasn't tying me to the People's Republic of Minnesota, I'd sign up. (She is not a liberal, she just doesn't want to live so far from her family)

8 Oh, just get her to move the whole family! (As long as they're not all liberals, too)

9 Nope, her parents are small business owners, and could definitely afford to pay all of the moving expenses.

10 Well, come on! Bring them along! I'm being serious here! Vote with your feet and invite everyone along to join in with freedom.
