Vote outside the voting booth

I know positively who I will be voting for in November, and it won’t be either of the major party candidates. Nor will it be a third party candidate or any other person who might want to occupy a political office.
Instead I will be voting for you – whoever you may be.
I will not be voting to put you in power over my life. I will be voting to free you of the power of others who occupy a political office. I will be voting to put you in charge of your own life through your own initiative and cooperation with others. I have great confidence in you, not necessarily from what I’ve seen but because I know how resourceful you can be when the situation calls for it.
The situation calls for it, now.
One outcome I seek is having as few people as possible participate in the government’s voting process – far fewer than in past elections.
Let’s look at a few numbers.
In 2008, of the 231 million eligible voters in the U. S., 131 million cast ballots, leaving 100 million eligible voters who didn’t vote.
