Vote !
it makes a difference...

DID YOU KNOW ?

• Several of our states, including California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington, became states by just ONE vote?
    
• In 1948, Lyndon B. Johnson, our 36th president, became a U.S. senator by a ONE vote margin?
    
• And, that same year, if Thomas E. Dewey had gotten ONE vote more per precinct in Ohio and California, the presidential election would have been thrown to the U.S. House of Representatives, where Dewey enjoyed more support than his rival -- incumbent Harry S. Truman? In fact, Dewey was expected to win the general election by a landslide, so most Republicans stayed home. Only 51.5 percent of the electorate voted in 1948, and Truman defeated Dewey.
   

NOT CONVINCED ?

• In the 1960 presidential election, ONE additional vote per precinct in Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey and Texas would have denied John F. Kennedy the presidency and put Richard M. Nixon in office eight years earlier.
    
• In recent years, the outcomes of many state and congressional races have been reversed as recounts have shifted a handful of votes from one candidate to another.
    
• Each and every vote is the voice of a citizen of the United States of America. One voice speaking out can change the course of history.

The most important reason of all to VOTE:

• For the American Men and Women who died defending our freedom. We honor their ultimate sacrifice by voting!

Even if you don't like any of the candidates, 
or don't know all you'd like to know about the issues, 
it is our right, privilege and duty to
VOTE! 
Our children are learning from watching us -
learning the value of freedom,
learning the meaning of service to Nation,
learning what Freedom is and what Freedom costs.

 
 
Remember. . .  
We have no right to complain about our government
when we do nothing to be a part of the process.
