Found this post by someone on a protest forum, talking about casting blank ballots in the 2012 election as a sign of protest, since none of the candidates at the time had their best interest at heart.

>I am considering the positive implications of casting a blank ballot in the US 2012 presidential elections. After some thought, I am convinced that this could be an incredibly empowering form of "protest" for those that know none of the political candidates have our best interest in heart. If carried out on a large enough scale, I could see 10 to 30% of popular vote, such an act would demonstrate the widespread discontent inherent in our current sociopolitical paradigm; furthering the growing awareness within the many progressive movements we see today.

This would be sure to get mainstream news attention, plant awareness, and generate further progress on our path for authentic liberty.

I am interested in OWS's opinion of this idea, and hopeful that you would endorse it within your many avenues of communications.

Final note: To do this either leave the ballot blank or write in "none of the above" when at the polls. Interesting website pertaining to the issue http://www.nota.org/

P.S.

I have been leaving brief youtube comments on varying types of "enlightening" videos and songs, and it would be helpful for people to either leave similar comments or thumbs up existing comments so that they stay towards the top of the comments page.

Comment reads as following,

Vote BLANK,

If you can't support any of the candidates.

Voting BLANK says you want better democracy and a higher quality of politics. Leave the ballot paper completely blank or write in "none of the above."
