Education: Educating employees, friends and family members about small-business issues and candidates

More than 50 percent of working Americans are employed by small businesses. These employees and their family members are affected by anti-business legislation as much as the business owners themselves. It is essential for employees of small businesses to be aware of how an issue or election can directly affect them, either in their paychecks, health insurance coverage, or the very survival of the business they work for. Learn how to effectively discuss relevant issues with your employees, friends and family members. This will ensure that, as voters, they are better equipped to make informed decisions at the ballot box that benefit them and, by extension, your business.
