$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MathMurderer', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cloud9', 'T')o alter this government, I am voting against every sitting incumbent. If we all do that, change will take place.

Most incumbents have either a (D) or an (R) next to their name. If you and most other Americans vote for the candidate from the other major party, then you'll get a new set of elected officials, but they'll still be composed overwhelmingly by Democrats and Republicans. I personally wouldn't expect much change in that scenario.
If you want real change in politics you'll probably have to vote for independents and candidates from small parties. But a word of caution needs to be added here as well. In such a scenario you'll get a good number of very capable and decent people, but you'll also get more than a fair share of dangerous nutjobs. This is a risk that I would be willing to take, but some of the consequences would probably be undesirable.

This one's got legs. My Wife's best friend, a teacher, sent
her this, which said teacher's San Diego Mom sent her.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.. if you can fake that, you've got it made, said Groucho. That’s not some sort of accident, it's what the country was built on.
