Your Vote is Your Decision

Your vote is:

Your belief
Your number
Your representation
Your affiliation
Your legacy
Your responsibility
Your right
Your privilege
Your ability

In all, it’s your decision.

History has shown us that the vote, as a number, plays a vital role in politics. Here are five examples of how one vote really did make a difference in elections to the U.S. House of Representatives:

In 1829 in Kentucky, Nicholas Coleman defeated Adam Beatty 2,520 to 2,519.
In 1847 in Indiana, George G. Dunn defeated David M. Dobson 7,455 to 7,454.
In 1847 in Virginia, Thomas S. Flournoy defeated his opponent 650 to 649.
In 1854 in Illinois, James C. Allen defeated William B. Archer 8,452 to 8,451.
In 1882 in Virginia, Robert M. Mayo defeated George T. Garrison 10,505 to 10,504.

As a decision, your vote is your opportunity to exercise all of the above (and more). It is your commitment to your country and its governess. It is the solution to dictatorship or authoritarian rule. It requires that we participate in an active (vs. passive) role.

Please vote responsibility.
