Only 7% of the voters turnout to pick the people who RUN THEIR CITY, but then a whopping 70% will show up to vote for a U.S. president. IT is TIME FOR A REVOLUTION in the way we vote and work in our system.

2. How do you think the Republicans got into power. They started
at the local elections working up to State while pushing
forward nationally.

The Right will show up to vote. They believe strongly
enough that they go to the polls. It is that simple.

3. Additionally make your city move elections to coincide with major elections
if they don't already. A small town near me used to have it's town council elections separate which not only got few people out to vote it wasted over $10,000 each separate election in extra costs. If your town or city is like that find someone with the legal know how to get a citizens referendum going to move the election to save yourselves money AND get more people paying attention and voting!

4. i stood in line for 1 1/2 hours, the line behind me was at least 100'.paper ballots, 4 voter tables
only 4 people could vote at a time, and it took forever for them to send up another voter.
