For me I have to vote, my forefathers fought and died for the right to vote and be heard. I know, it seems like that right has been taken away but we the people still have a voice and we have to fight to keep that voice. Voting to get the right people in office that are for the people and not just for the party. You know, the good thing is in this country you get the right to choose, you can do what you want, vote or not vote, not all people have the right to choose.

I also have the right to a gay marriage, but it doesn't oblige me to do so. The chance of my voice making a difference in an election is less than being struck by lightning several times. I disagree that using a vote to force a ruler upon those not wanting one shows arrogance and authoritarianism if my vote did matter. No offense.
