PIML 96061409 / Forwarded to Patriot Information Mailing List: [It used to be that a vote for a third party candidate was considered to be a wasted vote -- not any more, as American citizens begin to wake up.] PIML ================================================================== Date: 13 Jun 96 22:36:27 EDT From: Mike Johnson <102052.3716@CompuServe.COM> Subject: MJN:No wasted votes Patty Neill's commentary on what it really means to have wasted a vote. - Mike/North Central Florida Regional Militia It is safe to assume that any traffic going to or from this address is being recorded, stored and analyzed somewhere by government employees.

IN THAT seen b I was against NAFTA and I told my congressmen so. Democrats and Republicans passed NAFTA anyway. I was against GATT and I told Congress so. Democrats and Republicans passed GATT anyway--in a lame duck repudiated Congress, at that. I was against the so called Communications Decency Act and I told Congress so. Republicrats and Democans passed it anyway. I was against the so called Anti-Terrorism Bill, and I told Congress so. Scumsuckers and Lawyers passed it anyway. I have been against ALL the unconstitutional, self-serving, corrupt legisltation passed by both major parties --and I told them so. Therefore, I will NEVER EVER AGAIN waste my vote by giving it to EITHER the Republicans or Democrats. Period. >From now on, in any national election, I'm going to vote 3rd party, probably Libertarian. If there's a 3rd Party choice in local and state elections, then I will vote that way. If we ALL do this, then we'll see changes.
