It may not be popular, but it is every citizens right not to vote. Voting or not voting has nothing to do with being American or Un-American, whatever that means.

I fully belive that if you don't think any canidate has earned your vote, then don't vote. I sure am not going to vote for the lesser of two evils. I don't think that anyone else should vote just for the sake of voting.

Again, it may not be popular, but calling it un-american is a little absured. It strikes me as the same as saying not owning a gun is Un-American. Afterall, if you don't own a gun, how can you defend your country?

Voting is a right. Just like all our other rights, it is our choice, as citizens, to excercise those rights. Voting is not an obligation. And those who chose not to vote are as American as anyone else.
