It's not too late to become politically active and make a difference at the ballot box. Small-business owners can do their part by voting for pro–small-business candidates and encouraging employees, friends and family to do the same. Here are just a few of the resources NFIB has to offer small- and independent-business owners who are eager to make a difference in this year's election.
Track Lawmakers
How Congress Voted lists the most important small-business votes taken by federal lawmakers during the 109th Congress. The final version of How Congress Voted is available online at www.NFIB.com/hcv, and a hard copy of the publication will be sent to NFIB members in mid-October. This easy-to-read resource shows you which lawmakers have helped or hurt your business over the past two years--so you'll know who to support at the polls.

Get Out The Vote
NFIB.com/politics can help inform you about your state's absentee ballot process, early voting options and voter registration deadlines. Post your state's voting guidelines and options in your business as a way to build the small-business vote. Remember: Election Day (Nov. 7) isn't the first day to vote--it's the last! You can also download or request a copy of NFIB's official get-out-the-vote poster (at right) to remind everyone to get to the polls and support small business.
