I'm not sure what good it is doing but I have taken to writing my Representative fairly regularly about my concerns and about her duty to represent her constituents on important matters(both domestic and foreign policy) instead of focusing on more trivial issues. I am also always irritated when I read how many citizens DO NOT VOTE! It is such a great privilege and duty to do so and it boggles my mind that so many just throw it away. It is even more important now that there are evil government forces trying to give the vote to illegal immigrants who not only can't speak English but have NO understanding of the Constitution or how our government functions. Of course you might be able to say the same for some citizens!

Maybe a lot of disillusioned young people feel there is no point in voting for various reasons. I was once like that too so I can relate to the mindset of apathy and depression around politics. We were taught that voting mattered and insured a fair democracy, but now the media is biased, lies and misdirection abound, rules and laws broken by all parties, and it really looks like the fix is in. The globalists have infiltrated many countries and accountability is not upheld. It's a brave new world where elections don't insure fairness, and the real power may not be your representative, but a faceless group intent on global domination. The presidential debate illustrated just how dysfunctional the system is.
