An Unwasted Vote
I hope President George Bush wins the election, but just cast my vote by absentee ballot for Michael Peroutka for United States President 2004. According to the State-by-State Margins Oct. 19 from the Electoral Vote Predictor 2004, Kerry leads Bush by 23% (!) in my home state of New York. Had a voted for Bush, he would lose by one less vote. Had a voted for Kerry (perish the thought), he would win by one more. Voting for Bush or Kerry would have been a wasted vote. My vote for Peroutka sends a message that pre-emptive war is wrong and encourages the Republican Party to strengthen its pro-life stance.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
