Many people look at elections and doubt that their one, little vote really amounts to much of anything. This feeling causes many to question why they should bother to vote at all. Does your vote matter? And can you materially alter the outcome of an election by staying home? The answer to both of these is a resounding yes.
Most voters are blissfully unaware of a long-term project that has been underway since 2005, a project meant to take control of our electoral system and bend it to one ideological agenda.

He was so impressed that he decided he was going to dispense with the speech intended to give.
