Letter: Don't vote - take action
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: April Fool! I hope you see the funny side ("Swampy joins political race", 1 April). I have no intention of standing for any election. It is as much a farce as politics in general is a farce.
There are several points to doing this. First to bring forward the issues involved; to offer solutions to the growing problem of pollution from roads and air traffic. I hope that the present political parties will take on board our manifesto and rethink their own policies.
Lastly I would like to point out that direct action is far more important than voting. All the main parties are pretty much the same. Most politicians have vested interests in road-building companies, car manufacturers or airports. People should take a stand to make a change.
If you must register your vote, write "none of the above" on your voting paper, so people know how many people are fed up with being trampled upon by politicians and more importantly, the large multi-national companies who pull the strings.
