I Am Going To Keep Saying This. Vote In This Coming Election!

Every now
and then,I will hear someone say, "My one vote doesn't count." If you knew your history,
you might think twice before making that statement.The election of 1948 was so close at the time that the people at the Chicago Tribune decided that
Thomas E. Dewey
was going to win. So they printed a headline in their papers saying he had.
Before the election was over. Here are some examples of one vote making a difference.1645: 1 VOTE gave control of England to Oliver Cromwell1649: 1 VOTE approved the beheading of Kings Charles I1800: 1 VOTE made Thomas Jefferson president instead of Aaron Burr1845: 1 VOTE brought Texas into the United States1850: 1 VOTE admitted California and Oregon into the United States1868: 1 VOTE saved President Andrew Johnson from Impeachment1875: 1 VOTE ended the monarchy in France for a voting democracy1876: 1 VOTE made Rutherford B. Hayes a United States President1876: 1 VOTE elected the Indiana Electoral College member who voted for Hayes1923: 1 VOTE placed Adolph Hitler as the leader of the Nazi Party1941: 1 VOTE kept the military draft operational just weeks before Pearl Harbor1992: 1 VOTE selected a member of the Town Council of Trinity, Alabama1992: 1 VOTE decided the final member of the Selma, Alabama city councilHow decisions that change history are determined by just a few votes.1788: 3 VOTES ratified the U.S. Constitution in New York1790: 2 VOTES ratified the U.S. Constitution in Rhode Island, making it approved in all 13 states1960: 1 VOTE changed in each precinct would have defeated John Kennedy1976: 1 VOTE changed in each Ohio precinct would have elected Gerald Ford and not Jimmy Carter1993: 1 VOTE by Al Gore approved the largest tax increase in American historyIf you want to find more up to date examples,you need to do your own research.I'm tired of typing examples to prove my point.My other point is,"Ask what you can do for your country!"I have a solution just for those who feel it is too hard to get involved.We the People, your voice in our Government.A great website where you can get involved.It has everything the Laziest Couch Potatocould want on being able to decide which issues of today are important to them. It's right at your fingertipsand your keyboard.The main reason I like the website is because this is where I was able to sign a petition which I feel effects us all.Here,you can search through all theOpen Petitionsgoing on right nowand sign the ones that affect your life.
Or you can start a petition of your own if you feel there is something that needs to be addressed. Computers and the Internet can be used as wonderful tools in the right hands. Now take a stand, take ten minutes away from playing games, social networking, or shall I say it, you favorite porn sites and Feel the Power of Participating by Doing Something For Your Country!
This is,I Don't Just Talk About The Issues - I Petition On What I Feel Is Right,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” - Issac Asimov -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
