Your View: Non-voters should return to booths

By Anthony Marco, Mankato

The greatest fear the two major parties have is that those of you who have given up on voting will get mad enough to vote again, but vote for candidates who do not belong to those two parties. Those two will continue bickering, and make you sick enough to keep you from voting.

Well, when are you, your family and your friends going to vote again? When will you start voting for candidates that aren’t Democrat or Republican? Haven’t these two parties ravaged our state and federal government long enough?

Is this the kind of political system and high taxing bloated government that you want to leave to your children and grandchildren? It’s time to elect candidates who get it. Candidates that are not Democrat or Republican. Elect candidates who will ensure there is no corruption and waste in the use of our state agencies such as the welfare system. Candidates who believe the people of Minnesota come first and not a political party.

I sincerely hope that you will start voting again and vote your conscience. Those career politicians had their time in office and don’t deserve to be there any more.
