The founders of democratic principles, the ancient Greeks, literally had proportional representation; they voted on issues themselves. In modern democratic society this has evolved into citizens voting, on a national level, for representatives to voice opinions for us. Local elections are happening today in many parts of the U.S. One can view these local elections as the truest form of intended democracy, as we have the opportunity to voice our opinion without the representational middle man.
My question, then, is if you will vote today? Being that the U.S. touts being the bright light of democracy, are we willing to participate in the political process when it is at its most pure form?

Hell yes on voting - albeit that I am interested in one race but voting none-the-less.
