The people of these United States are the rightful masters of both Congresses and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. — 1859

My Take – We hold a revolution in this country almost every year.  Through local, state, and federal elections, we regularly have the opportunity to replace our servants and representatives.  It is our way of making our voices heard and of reminding those who work for us that their wishes and desires are subordinate to their duty to us.

This may be why it disturbs me when so few people are actually interested in politics.  Not everyone has the inclination or the time to be a political geek, but the amount of effort it takes to be informed and motivated to take the time to vote is minimal.  This apathy is the real enemy to our freedom.  When such a large part of our nation decides that doing the one thing that can cause change in government isn’t worth their time, then the power is held by those who vote and those who influence them.

It’s getting very close to the deadline to be registered to vote for November.  If you’re not registered, please do.   I don’t care if you vote for Obama, or Romney, or Johnson, or the High Exalted Poobah of the Royal Order of Water Buffalo, just vote.
