IF WAR IS THE LAST STEP…
THEN VOTING IS THE FIRST!

To vote is to recognize the legitimacy of the state, its laws and its right to control your life.

To vote is to sanctify the government’s right to make war in your “defense” and in your name. To kill, maim, terrorize and torture people, yourself included, in both secret and conventional wars.

If voting is one of the first acts in giving your life over to the control of the state and its agencies, to do as they please when they please, then it makes sense that refusing to vote is one of the first steps in taking it back.

DON’T VOTE

Change Your Life

Not Your Leader
