“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

"Ending the futility of political trench warfare"

This election has been compared to that of 1980 in its importance. I suspect it is even more important. I think this election is about two very different ways of life or culture, that of liberty and free institutions versus that of corporatism and collectivism. It's the Tea Party versus the Occupiers. The Packs stand, at least at this time, for the former; the Dems stand foursquare for the latter. We have not had an election over such disparate cultures since 1860.
This is a comment in a discussion from a small blog that I read, concerning the elections this year.  I strongly recommend it as a primer as to why voting is so important this year.  None of the people involved are well known talking heads, but American citizens like you and me, people who do not want to see America's downfall, talking basic common sense. 

Read the whole thing, as they say.
