[1]It is because of you that Vote Smart students and staff do what they do,
why they exist at all.

You Inspire!

This morning I wasn’t too sure I wanted to get out of bed and hear more bad
news. So, I picked up my book, Genghis Khan, and read a few more chapters
about how he went from town to town. Basically, he asked each town to give
him all their stuff. If they said no, he slaughtered every man women and
child. In the end he started running into towns that just gave him all
their stuff. He conquered most of the world that way.

In any free society, the people must live amongst some unimaginable elected
thugs.

Liars and cheats who will take or trash everything earned and fought for by
others, in our case our parents and their parents before them.

But then there is you, smart enough, tough enough and courageous enough to
take on a thug or two. And you are not alone, millions are beginning to
follow your lead to the reality that facts expose and that a successful
self-governing people require.

It is because of you that Vote Smart students and staff do what they do,
why they exist at all. You inspire us and give us purpose.

That is what you and we do. That is what Americans do.

Facts Matter.
