***Prior to posting another satirical Modest Proposal, I will write a post about the previous one explaining the truth behind it. Hopefully everyone understands the point of the first is to draw attention to the subject in a somewhat comical, ludicrous way to show change needs to be made. I appreciate the email's I received, keep them coming! Don't be shy about posting your comments on the blog. Write to me what issues you feel are important and I'll write a Modest Proposal about it. Thanks for reading!***
Seeing as how this was the first post, I received some emails full of disgrace that one could even think up the ideas I presented in the post regarding Deportation of Non-Voters. I'm glad to see we all care about the well being of our fellow Americans, but what about the well being of the country as a whole? We have thousands of people who complain daily about how the government acts, yet a small percentage of them actually vote! What do we have to do to get the American public interested in it's own policies and government? Do we have to begin punishing people if they don't voice their opinions? I hope not.
Americans have one of the greatest rights in the world, the right to vote. I know people often feel as though they can't change anything, but if the whole nation speaks up, Washington must listen. We don't live in a Dictatorship or Anarchy (although some insist we do). We live in a Democracy, the people give the government their power. Our Founding Father's and soldiers of the American Revolution fought for this right, and millions are throwing it down the drain. It's time we speak up and tell our government what we want!

The Deportation of Non-Voters
With the 2008 Presidential elections coming this year in a few months, I find it to be a good time to make this modest proposal:
Those who don't vote should be deported from America.
Every citizen in the United States of America has been granted the right to vote by the US Consitution and it's amendments. The apathetic individuals who don't use this right should be promptly removed from the county, permenantly. People who don't vote are not only ignorant and spineless, but also a disgrace to all who fought to gain this right.
Maybe our ignorant citizens who refuse to vote would like to be transfered back in time to the age of Feudalism. They would gladly work on the land of Nobles and work to make the King rich. For sure they would have loved life under Hitler or Mussolini!
We could always just execute them, but that can get expensive if done in a humane way. How about Mexico, we can send them their. They have hard working citizens that would love all America has to offer. I say for every non-voting US citizen we have we should just drop in the ocean and allow one more hard working immigrant.
Why would we want individuals who don't care about their rights and own lives in our country? We trust them to speak their voice to ensure our democracy works. When we deport these individuals, we msut insure they cannot return. Cuba sounds like a good place to me. Since they are opinionless and lack a brain to form their own views with, they will have no problem following what Raul Castro says. Perharps we could set up some trade, our non-voters for their cigars!
America has no need to provide a haven of freedom's to those who don't use them. Does anyone else have suggestions as to where we could send them?
