CM>                   ONE VOTE COUNTS
CM>                  submitted by Bennie Worsham

CM>I just hope that the media will not succeed in hyping people into
CM>believing that they are just "throwing their vote away".  As Ross
CM>Perot said If you don't vote your conscience you will be throwing
CM>your vote away.

CM>To those that are tempted to succumb to that hype, fearing that
CM>their's is only one vote, I offer the following observations:

CM>     In 1645 - One vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England.
CM>     In 1649 - One vote caused Charles I of England to be
CM>     executed.
CM>     In 1776 - One vote gave America the English Language instead
CM>     of German.
CM>     In 1845 - One vote brought TEXAS into the Union.
CM>     In 1868 - One vote saved Pres. Andrew Johnson from
CM>     Impeachment.
CM>     In 1876 - One vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the Presidency.
CM>     In 1876 - One vote changed France from a monarchy to a
CM>     Republic.

So regardless of what the media says, everyone's vote can make a
difference.  I hope that each person will see through the media
smokescreen and vote.

Found that on another conference. Think, it's important.
greetinx, Carl.
