    Will my vote in the next Presidential election effect my business? I'll leave that question open, but I will say this. Decisions in all three branches of government do indeed effect our business. We have only a short time left to make a decision on whom to vote for. If you haven't made up your mind on who to vote for, spend some time on studying the two candidates and be ready to cast your ballet. We live in trying times, and I personally think this is important now more than ever. We have two candidates with very different thoughts concerning small business. Whomever you go with make your voice heard in the voting booth. Oh by the way, one of these guys is going to be the next president. Writing in the name of someone else because you don't like either, is just another way of not voting while fooling yourself into thinking you have performed your civic responsibility. As a small business owner this has been on my mind. didn't mean to preach.



    I will get off my soap box now, any other thoughts?

    Always think before you cast your vote.
    Some here in Australia voted for Rudd but all we got was a DUDD.

    Good post Chuck! I hope the next one will help all us small business's out. The cost to operate has been out of hand last few years. I just hope the high cost of insurance like health will come down. Way things are going people will not have money to spend. Just hope the next one will do something fast and not just talk about it!

    Funny thing is I dont hear either one of them saying anything about trimming government. I think " We the people" should tighten our belts a little.

    Two days before election day a video from Bin Ladin will "mysteriously surface". Hope Americans dont fall for the same old trick again.

    You need to get out of my head. I was thinking the same thing! I don't like either of the two, so I'm going to write in myself just to see my name on the TV for vote counts! :biggrin:

    This isn't a board for politics...

    By the way, I moved this topic into our OFF TOPIC room.
