I became disenfranchised by both the Democrats and the Republicans in 1996. The two parties care more about the parties than the citizens. I created a write-in candidate called Ahmnodt Heare (pronounced "I'm not here"). If you look up "Ahmnodt Heare" on a search engine, you will see quite a few entries.

I do not understand this kind of protest. vote 3rd party if both parties suck. I am in a 3rd (rather: 6th) party and kinda annoyed by the mentality that only the 2 (5) parties really count.

Many local elections do not have a third party candidate. I used to be in the Libertarian Party, but it's becoming too much like the Republican Party :(
