Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) October 13, 2016 -- Election Day is only five weeks away. As part of the effort to get Indiana citizens to vote, the Indiana CPA Society has created this public service announcement. As trusted business advisors, CPAs from around the state urge citizens to vote because every vote makes a difference in shaping our state's and country's future.

PSA examples of the impact one individual can have over our country's 240-year history include:

  • In 1776, one vote gave American the English language instead of German.
  • In 1850, one vote admitted the state of California to the Union.
  • In 1941, one vote extended the Selective Service Act (the draft) just four months before Pearl Harbor was attacked.
  • 1993, one vote saved the international space station project.
  • In 2000, one vote per precinct in key states gave George W. Bush the victory in the presidential election over Al Gore.

We encourage you to use this PSA in your coverage of the national, state and local races leading up to Election Day on Nov. 8.
