At this Democracy Unplugged (http://www.democracyunplugged.net/) forum for alternative parties the Vote for Nobody Campaign (http://www.anti-politics.ws/) participated for the first time. While the other presidential candidate's representatives talked about their vision of what the government should be and do, Jim Babb extolled the virtues of nonvoting and a stateless society.
Please also visit the Boycott the 2012 Presidential Election website (http://electionboycott2012.org/), a group on the left with a similar goal for this election.

Was just recently posting about this. This guy makes an EXCELLENT CASE for nobody. I'm convinced and NOBODY has my vote!
The best part IMO was the part about withdrawing your consent. People do not comprehend that they are granting power of attorney to the "representative" by being registered to vote. It's the same thing as when you get an attorney to "represent" you in a court.
Not only that but we need to separate people mentally from the govt. As long as they keep thinking they're a part of it they will keep supporting it. Even if they don't support the govt as long a they think it's legit they will continue accepting it. The electoral process is a big part of this mechanism of control.
The government has to get consent of the governed. They want us to legitalimize our own oppression by cheerfully participating in a rigged game. They have the audacity to say that non voters have no right to complain. How bout it's the one's who are willing to play the game that have no right to complain.
Jim Babb, you rock!
