Do you think Americans have liked what "their" legislators have been doing for the past 10 years, for example? PATRIOT ACT, SOPA, CISPA, NDAA, hello?
What positive changes has voting brought you?

You can hardly blame them for supporting things that (apparently) have the support of most of their constituents. And if you think the reason is that not enough people know/care... well isn't that the whole point of this banner campaign? > What positive changes has voting brought you? Seriously?

Do you think raping the public's privacy is part of their election campaigns? "If you vote me into office, I promise to rape your privacy extra-hard!" --> "Yayyy! Here, have my vote!" .. or something?
