And why should you vote:

- "The margin is narrow, but the responsibility is clear." --Kennedy, John F. 35th President of the United States (1961-1963)
- "Lower voter participation is a silent threat to our democracy...It under-represents young people, the poor, the disabled, those with little education, minorities and you and me." --Neuman, Nancy Editor (1837 - AFT. 1860)
- "The ballot is stronger than the bullet." --Abraham Lincoln
"Voters don't decide issues, they decide who will decide issues."
-- George F. Will- "Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fran,
Good quotes all! But I particularly like Louis L'Amour's quote! Thanks, Fran
So true, one man one vote. Not 77 from one person. Great quotes, Fran. I enjoyed them all.
