Only 43% of eligible citizens voted in 2006.
Why is it that, after 18 years of work by groups like Rock The Vote, things have not improved? Registration is way up, but TURNOUT IS STILL LOW. What can we do?

1.Confront or completely reject the constant MEDIA obsession with a few Presidential candidates. PUT THE FOCUS ON CONGRESS and lower offices where people have power.

2. Truly reach out to non-voters on their own terms. There are OVER 100 MILLION.
We need to get people to understand that the potential exists to change the system from with-in.

3. Deal with some of the VAST MISCONCEPTIONS about Who votes, Who does not vote, and WHY.

Vote For Peace is a non-profit, non-partisan organization attempting to find solutions to increase voter turnout and participation.
"FREED OM IS PARTICIPATION IN POWER"

Vote for Peace does not ask politicians to change the system, because that has proven to fail. We are doing the revolutionary thing of inviting the people to get involved and change the system.

Ok, I understand where your coming from now.. Your saying that we should do whatever it takes to get involved, and to vote for our officials; local, state, or otherwise. Or, run for a position in government ourselves, and make the changes that are needed. Whatever it takes to change the system must be done, and "we the people" are the only ones that can do that. I definitely support you and that.. Things need to change in a bad way.
