If people really want to change the political climate in the good ol U.S., just be involved. Write, call, and/or email your elected reps (congressman, senators, govenor, president...ect). Writing your elected reps and voting means you are apart of the process. If time is an issue sign up for a mail order ballots, for voting, and contact your elected rep using www.congress.org.
For those with an issue of "if my votes or emails even count" at least you are doing something that cost you no money or hardly any time. It is allot better than wondering. Very little effort is made and you can say you did something. And at the end of the day if you did not have the desired outcome on an issue, at you can say you did all you could.
And lastly don't only vote for republican or democrat. The founding fathers of our country didn't fight for our freedoms against the british so we would only have two options for electable positions in our governments. For me it does not matter who is more in a position to be elected, but who is right for the job. When I vote I never look at political parties. I look at issues and the individual's beliefs on issues.
