Gee, how about "casting a vote for someone to represent me fairly."  
YOUR party?  Fuck that noise - that's just what's wrong with the whole 
system.  We think along party lines, instead of voting for real.   
Someone should be elected on how well they will represent the will of 
the people.  ALL the people.  I don't see the current set of fuckheads 
in DC doing much to represent the people, just the religious right and 
the energy industry.  "Let's return to the 50's!  We need more 
McCarthyism!  Let's hold US citizens and deny their basic rights!"
