Many of us register with a major party soley to have a voice in the primaries. If you don't like what the parties have become and the way they operate, and you have already voted in your state's primary election, consider sending them a message by changing your voter registration to "Not a Member of a Party", or to a minor party. This won't affect your vote in the November election if you change it before the registration deadline in your state (31 days at the most). It would be so great to see a big drop in the Democrat and Republican numbers.

If you live in Oregon, you can change your voter registration on line here:
