We have one more power, that of non-participation.  Although in reality 
that's a small threat indeed simply because only a few people are going to do 
it.  
One thing that wealthy and powerful fear as much as they fear your vote is 
your independence.  If you are not in debt or beholden to them in some other 
way, 
their power over you is limited and he source of their wealth is stiffled.
