1) Find a politician who will actually challenge the status quo. Donate time or money to that person's campaign and vote for them. Although I don't agree with all of Ron Paul's policy, I plan to vote for him. Before the NDAA passed the Senate, and before the TSA groped my privates without cause (http://www.businessinsider.com/after-getting-groped-by-the-tsa-i-may-just-vote-for-ron-paul-2011-11), and before I discovered we do not have a free press (none of the cable networks are giving more than passing mentions of the NDAA in their nightly programming), I was not a Ron Paul guy.

Now I am. And his son, Rand Paul, is one of only seven Senators who voted against the NDAA. It's like a father and son constitutional protection team. So yes, I'll vote for Ron Paul. Our nation certainly cannot get any worse, and if he manages to reign in even a small part of this police state insanity, it will be a vote well cast.

this is a very good article that could effectively appeal to the non-RP supporters on both side of the aisle. would be good to send to your open-minded/non-brainwashed, sensible peers. good comments section too.

David Seaman, that's the same guy that wrote the article "After Getting Groped By The TSA, I May Just Vote For Ron Paul (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?333272-After-Getting-Groped-By-The-TSA-I-May-Just-Vote-For-Ron-Paul)" a few days ago. Looks like he made up his mind on that matter in just the past few days. :)
