A very smart woman echoed my post about non-voters in the Chronicle this week. I didn’t ask her permission, but I assume she wouldn’t mind me posting her letter. AMEN, SISTER! The Consequences of Apathy Dear Citizens that Did Not Vote: To the 60% (national average) that chose not to vote in this last election, screw you. I really don’t care what lame excuse you have for your lack of participation, you have now handed over the power of Congress to a dangerous president. The blood of every person that dies because of Bush’s agenda is on your hands. You have now defiled the memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Susan B. Anthony, our founding families, and the millions of people who have dedicated their lives to securing and protecting our right to vote. You have delegitimized the anti-war movement by standing silently. It was a historic vote indeed. I suggest all you nonvoters slap some duct tape over your mouths, drop your pants, and bend over, because that is essentially what you agreed to. No, really, if you didn’t vote, then shut up. You had your chance and you blew it. Sincerely, Rachel Cobliber
