I think this would be awesome and maybe call for everyone to get their vote in by May 15th to see how many of us really want this done. If nothing else it would give us everyone's email address to design a campaign to "get bush out" by let's say December 1st? Couldn't we also place a vote against the Vice President in a follow up vote? Who would that leave us with?

I use to think it was sad that more Americans voted in Amreican Idol than do in out national elections, but then I realized that people are just disinterested with national politics, and rightfully so. They feel inept and incapable of making tangible change. This is mostly because the system itself is designed so that change does not come often, and for any realy change to occur, like the people gaining some control over their lives, some big things are going to need to happen. For now, people have their ego-fetishes. Our DVD's and our internet, our likes and our dislikes. You are forced to participate in the system, but look at all the nice shit you can buy! I support people participating directly in thier own brand of politics. It's obvious our votes don't do anything, but people are told that is all they have to do. Pull the lever, and acept the consequences, well fuck that. One day the people will change by choice or change by force when the police state and private world of ownership comes crashing down on them to claim more freedom. Moral of the story: Don't vote; organize and participate. Great post Nick!
