I agree with you 100%. This is our country, the people, and we should all stand TALL for what we believe. Everyone is talking about Bush outnumbered(small numbers) in Florida. The fact is Gore before the counting of Florida was over 300,000 votes ahead of Bush. Will this election be based on what the people want or on the twist of the play? We as Americans should recapture our spirit that we build this country on not a money game or tricks.

Do try reading Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution -- algore's nationwide popular-vote plurality of 300,000 means *nothing* when it comes to electing a president. Only the electoral vote counts. http://deoxy.org/fz/consti.htm#2.1 as modified by the 12th and 20th Amendments. Follow the links for subsequent amendments that modify Article II, Section 1. Now, can we PLEASE get back to genealogy? No elections later than 1700! ********************************************************** Yrs aye, Warren Wetmore
