If you live in a place that has elections, please vote when you have the opportunity: it may not change things, but not voting certainly won't.
In particular, if you're an American citizen, please vote on 2 November, both for President and for Congress and (if relevant this time around) Senate. And any local races that you care about (if they're asking you to choose between three people you know nothing about for Third Assistant Dog-catcher, I'm not going to try to convince you that it matters).
Some friendly people are running a sweepstakes to encourage people to vote. If you click on this link, you get a chance to enter, and I get an entry for the referrer prize. They also have a link to Rock the Vote's voter registration Web page, if you're eligible (if you're a US citizen, age 18 as of election day, and not a convicted felon, you can vote; felons can vote in some states but not others).
Yes, I'm supporting John Kerry (largely because I believe it's very important to re-defeat Bush), but I am doing so in part because I believe that democracy matters, so please register and vote, whether you agree with me, or think Dubya is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
