don't perpetuate the lie that US voters don't have alternatives

Some people say "there are no alternatives with our two party system of government."

They're wrong. Even in dictatorships and theocracies there are alternatives, e.g. Arab Spring.

Arab Spring

The series of protests and demonstrations across the Middle East and North Africa that commenced in 2010, became known as the "Arab Spring". By the end of February 2012, rulers in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen had been forced from power. Civil uprisings had erupted in Bahrain and Syria. During this period of regional unrest, several leaders announced their intentions to step down at the end of their current terms. The geopolitical implications of the protests drew global attention.

Our two party system of government is broken.

• BIG $ in politics
• weak candidates
• "scorched earth" campaigns
• hostile rhetoric
• lack of direction
• lack of solutions

have resulted in

• a contentious and ineffective Congress
• a "politics first" Executive Branch
• a politicized Supreme Court
• contention at home
• contention abroad
• lingering, unresolved, national, state and local problems

Voting for Democratic and Republican candidates is the problem, not the solution. If 50% or more of voters in the upcoming election were to vote for a third-party or write-in candidate, then a POWERFUL message would be sent to BOTH the Democratic and Republican parties. Even if Clinton or Trump is elected, the outlook for Democratic and Republican control of future elections would be seriously diminished. 

Don't perpetuate the lie by the Democratic and Republican parties and the media that we don't have alternatives to our two party system of government. 

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.  Don't vote for Democratic or Republican party candidates in this election.
