I just wanted to be one of the 1st to remind you that you'll have a chance to vote against the "old" GA flag in 2004.

BTW, in Butler's Book, Butler documents his being asked to accept the vice-Presidency with Salmon P. Chase (pp. 632-633), and then by President Lincoln (pp, 633-634), p. 633 containing a picture of Simon Cameron who represented Lincoln in the offer, citing "reasons of personal friendship which would make it pleasant to have you with him."

Butler declined, stating that the VP was a nothing position and would be punishment instead.
