With the RNC and the DNC coming to an end, the race for the White House is closing in. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both claimed their potential Vice Presidents, and given speeches to round up the supporters they need for the vote. If, however, you're not happy with the Democratic or Republican front-runners of the 2016 political race, you have other options. Your individual voice is vitally important in a democracy, and there are third party candidates running this year that you can use your voice to support.
Jill Stein is a physician who was the 2012 Presidential candidate for the Green Party, and who is running again this year. She has offered a "Power to the People" platform, in which she promises environmental, financial, and social reform. You can read her about her propositions and her history on her website here.
Gary Johnson is the governor of New Mexico and is the Libertarian candidate for this year's election. He proposes a cut to "wasteful spending", a program to create more jobs, and criminal justice reform. You can check his platform out at his website here.
I encourage every voter to decide what issues they truly care about, how they want their society to run, and to do the research on all the presidential candidates before they decide who to support. An educated, informed, and wise population is key to making democracy work.
