On This Election Day...

Information is the currency of democracy.
~Thomas Jefferson


Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned

with right or left instead of right or wrong.

~Richard Armour

George Washington is the only president who didn't blame

the previous administration for his troubles.

~Author Unknown

Mankind will never see an end of trouble until...

lovers of wisdom come to hold political power,

or the holders of power...become lovers of wisdom.

~Plato, The Republic

When one may pay out over two million dollars to

Presidential and Congressional campaigns,

the U.S. government is virtually up for sale.

~John Gardner

Politicians and diapers should be changed frequently and all for the same reason.

~José Maria de Eça de Queiroz

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

~George Jean Nathan

There are always

too many Democratic Congressmen,

too many Republican Congressmen,

and never enough U.S. Congressmen.

~Author Unknown

People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are

made by a majority of the people.

Of course, that is not true.

Decisions are made by a majority of those who

make themselves heard and who vote

- a very different thing.

~Walter H. Judd

We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.

~William Howard Taft
