It's true. If you don't take part in an election for a political figure, you don't have the right to send a complaint about them or disagree with any political desicions they make to the government.

I voted in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and all of the mid-term elections in between. But I didn't vote in 2004 and I probably never will again. In the words of Judge Learned Hand, in his famous book, "The Bill of Rights," ...

"Each one of us must in the end choose for himself how far he would like to leave our collective fate to the wayward vagaries of popular assemblies. No one can fail to recognize the perils to which the last forty years have exposed such governments. ... For myself, it would be most irksome to be ruled by a bevy of Platonic Guardians, even if I knew how to choose them, which I assuredly do not. If they were in charge, I should miss the stimulus of living in a society where I have, at least theoretically, some part in the direction of public affairs. Of course I know how illusory would be the belief that my vote determined anything; but nevertheless when I go to the polls I have a satisfaction in the sense that we are all engaged in a common venture."

The U.S. Supreme Court is behaving like a bevy of Platonic Guardians. They steal elections and flush the people's moral values down the toilet. They have robbed from me the reason for voting -- that "satisafaction ... that we are all engaged in a common venture."

Yes I am old enough, and yes not only did I vote in the presidential race I vote whenever an issue is at hand, bond issue, mayoral race, whatever.
Voting is our right, as a United States citizen.

I have a hard time believing that a congressman will check the voter rolls for EVERY email they get to determine the current voting status of the writer

Yes, I voted for Kerry.

But it's just ONE stupid vote, so how can you say they can't complain?
