Some Thoughts on Election Day

My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
~Thomas Jefferson


Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.
~Mark Twain


Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
~John Gunther


It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.
~Robert H. Parker


To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
~Thomas Jefferson


Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.
~John F. Kennedy


Ask not what uyour country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
~John F. Kennedy


Don't forget to vote today!
