It's Election Day, so it seemed appropriate to have a few quotes from important people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.: The freeman casting, with unpurchased hand, the vote that shakes the turrets of the land.
Daniel Webster: Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote.
Dwight D. Eisenhower: The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.
Ayn Rand: Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
William E. Simon: Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.
John Q. Adams: Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
Anon.: No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in.
GO VOTE!
