While I believe people should be involved in the Governing of our Nation...........you DO REALIZE that not voting is ALSO a vote right? As the Government refuses to place on Election Ballots the Option "None of the Above" (for they know, in many instances this option would receive the most votes), the ONLY WAY to vote None of the Above is to not vote.
Now, that SHOULD only apply to certain Offices folks are campaigning for, and not ALL offices on the Ballot. Meaning, one can refuse to cast a vote for either of the Candidates running for President, and still cast votes for all of the other Candidates running for Offices of a different position. Senators, Congressmen, State Officials, etc........
As for being proud..........I often do not cast a vote for President simply because I am very tired of voting for the lesser of two evils........and not voting for evil IS something to be proud of in my opinion. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil...........don't matter how much lipstick one wants to paint that pig with, IT'S STILL EVIL one is voting for.
