Use the Internet, Luke!

At the end of the original Star Wars, the voice of Ob-Wan Kenobi informs Luke Skywalker to use the force in his attempt to destroy the Death Star. As the US election draws near, I am changing that phrase a bit to say use the Internet. Use the Internet to help you make an informed and educated decision on who you should cast your vote.

All of the major candidates are using TV, Radio and Print ads to tell you to vote for them. What is sometimes left out is that they have Internet websites. If they don’t that in itself may be a reason not to vote for them. On these website you can find information on their beliefs, policies and platform.

There’s also blogs and other sites where people (many of them ordinary people like you and me) express their opinions on the candidates. Some are hosted by the candidates themselves where they may be regular posters. Others are hosted by those campaigning for the other.

It’s important that Small Businesses have elected leadership that will help and not hinder their life, business and existence. Information is out there, you may need to do some digging to find the information you may need to make that informed educated decision.

Some candidates may believe that ads and fancy campaign slogans and signs may be enough, but for us, the small business owner, it shouldn’t be. It’s important that we make an informed and educated decision.

Use the Internet.
