Your Vote Counts

In a democracy, voting is a right as well as your responsibility. It is important to realize that voting allows each individual to take responsibility for their beliefs and ideas. By voting you are making your own decisions. Do not allow others to decide for you! Each citizen has the right to voice their opinion, and the responsibility to help their government by participating in the decision making process.

By voting, you will be more informed on the political, social, and environmental issues that surround you. Here are some examples of how just ONE vote made significant changes in history:

  • In 1645: ONE VOTE gave Oliver Cromwell control of England.
  • In 1649: ONE VOTE caused Charles I of England to be executed.
  • In 1776: ONE VOTE gave America the English language instead of German.
  • In 1839: ONE VOTE elected Marcus Morton as the Governor of Massachusetts.
  • In 1876: ONE VOTE saved President Andrew Johnson from being removed from office.
  • In 1876: ONE VOTE changed France from a monarchy to a republic.
  • In 1923: ONE VOTE gave Adolph Hitler leadership of the Nazi Party.
