As of this writing, I am not voting for Barack Obama; and I also will not be voting for John McCain.  Neither of them represent my viewpoint on the issues that are important to me.  My number one, high priority issue, is Universal Health Care coverage for all Americans.

I am unable to vote for my chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, because the politicians in the Democratic Party took that right away from me.  (Maybe I need to remind the DNC that she did win the popular vote, by a considerable amount.)

Today, my decision is to not vote on the Presidential line of my ballot.  A non-vote, with no meaningful pro or anti message.  I believe I am not the only person in America who is doing this.

Barack and the Democratic party says that I need to join in party unity to make sure that the Democratic party is elected.  I say, I don’t vote candidates, I vote issues.  And, your chosen candidate does not represent my issues.  So, if you want my vote, you are going to have to give me a carrot.  I haven’t even had one offered to me yet.

The only carrot I will accept is Hillary Clinton as the Vice Presidential candidate with an agreement that you will allow her to work on getting 100% Universal Health Care coverage legislation passed.  Simple carrot, because I am a simple animal.  I don’t ask for much from my party, but this, I need and I deserve!  I put up with a lot of sexual harrassment and verbal/voter/civil rights abuse during this campaign.  I believe the party owes it to me, if they want me to keep voting as a Democrat.

I am sure I am not the only person, in that 18 million ‘voter demographic’ who feels the same way –> Diane Feinstein Interview
