Taking Positions on The Issues

Businesses rarely take public positions on political issues. They don't want to offend or alienate any particular point of view and thus jeopardize profits. Does that mean that most businesses are apolitical? Not a chance.

This is easy to see by looking at which companies donate to political campaigns, political action committees (PACs), and industry or other associations that have lobbyists. Most large businesses do, either directly or indirectly.

We are a small business. It's rare for a small business to stick their neck out and take a position on important issues of the day. We think that is wrong. The issues are too important - the stakes are too high for all of us in this society.

We don't expect all of our clients, nor do we expect all of our employees to agree with our positions. What we do hope, is that, by putting our positions out there, we remind us all that these issues are important and everything is to be gained by promoting discussion, searching for the truth, and taking action to help when necessary.

On this site, we sponsor, a "Top Issues" page where you can read about a few important topics that need current attention. Of course there are MANY more issues that we could mention. For the sake of keeping it manageable, we have focused on just a few.
