In the United States of America we not only have the privilege,
but the right and the responsibility to vote for our leadership.
Too many Americans fail to exercise this right.

Each and every vote makes a difference...

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 margin of ONE vote.

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.

Each and every vote makes a difference...

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 8 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 vote speaking out...
can change the course of history.

  

NOTE from Adelle: I received the above via
email so I don't know the authenticity of the statements.
But, even if they are not true, they could be, so...

VOTE - your one vote could make a difference!
