Get Out the Vote E-mail

I just e-mailed the following to most of the people in my personal address book.

With this e-mail, I'm asking you to remember to vote
tomorrow, November 2. Your vote counts and it is
important. No matter who you support, please vote.

I'll be voting for George Bush. I believe that in a
post-9/11 world, we need to take the fight to the
terrorists. That is what Bush has done. Nearly 45
million people are now free from governments who
supported terrorism world-wide and who murdered their
own people at home. The fight against terrorism is not
finished, and I believe that George Bush is the best
candidate to carry on that fight. Over thirty other
nations agreed with him in Iraq, and over forty in
Afghanistan.

The Bush economic record is comparable to any in
modern times. The average poverty rate for his first
term is lower than at any other time since Jimmy
Carter was President. The gap between the earnings of
men and women is at a record low. The unemployment
rate is lower than it was at the same point in 1996.
Hourly manufacturing wages are at a record high. Home
ownership is at a record high. The number of people
employed has been at record levels all summer, with
1.69 million more people working than were working in
January 2001.

George Bush was determined to do one thing before all
else. He chose to return some of your money to you.
Taxes are your money, taken from your pocket. Every
single American has benefited by having more of their
money returned to them or not taken from them in the
first place. Elimination of the marriage penalty,
creation of a 10% tax bracket, $1,000 per child tax
credit, all keep your money in your pocket.

George Bush has a record that we all can look at. He's
been strong on security and national defense. He's
kept his promise to lower taxes for every American.
The economy has made a solid recovery from the
recession and the attacks of 9/11. Vote for him or
against him, based upon his record. I think that's
fair to ask of you.

In any case, please vote.

Thank you.
