I am agreeing to no such thing. What if my chosen representative is unsuccessful in passing my/his preferred policies? Am I the sheep amongst wolves deciding on the menu? I've forfeited my rights and freedoms?

What if I don't vote? Are my rights conditioned on making a choice between a shit sandwich or a yeast taco?

Tolls/user fees. Your creativity is astonishingly low.
