* Palin Supported Penalties for Using Skateboards on Public or Private Property in Wasilla.
“Beginning Oct. 15 — after the expected opening of the $233,000 Wasilla Skate Park — skaters will be breaking the law if they use their skateboards, in-line skates, bicycles, scooters (or any other recreational, non-motorized wheeled device) on public or private property where signs are posted forbidding their use.”
The Frontiersman added, “In the ordinance approved Monday, the penalty for first-time violators of the ordinance is a written warning and the skate device may be confiscated for 10 calendar days. For a second offense, a $50 fine shall be paid and the skate device may be confiscated for 30 calendar days. A third-time offender will have to pay a $100 fine and will lose his or her skate device permanently.” [Frontiersman, 9/18/98]

Agreed, but also the 3rd parties have no real political power as it is, therefore making my vote useless. Otherwise, I might vote towards the Green Party.
why would it make your vote useless? is it only worthwile if you pick the winner?
last time I checked standing for what you believe in is more important than claiming bragging rights.
It is just the simple realization that the race is between 2 major candidates, and one of those two WILL become the next president. I'd rather put my vote towards the lesser of two evils than to simply toss it to a candidate that will not have any power in our government.
