Protect the 1st Amendment rights of people choosing NOT to participate in elections, by NOT creating Mandatory Voting

President Obama has brought up the possibility of Mandatory Voting in America. This is a violation of our 1st Amendment rights to choose whether or not to participate in an election. Although voting is one of the great foundations of our government, the American people should never be forced to participate in an election if they do not desire to do so.
Tell the Federal Government to leave the American people alone!
