Eric,

Glad I could be of help. It really is a challenge deciding when to speak your mind and when to hold back when it comes to mixing business and politics. What it comes down to is whether you can live with the consequences – whether it’s losing business because of your stand or personal consequences of keeping silent.

So, did you decide to keep the comment?

This is just what I needed. I have added a very controversial editorial comment on my website, and I have already gotten an email telling me that it cost me their business, and I have seen a post on Instructables (a very high-profile website for my customer base) commenting on it. And I was wondering whether I should remove my comments, so I did a search on Google for “use your business to promote your” and found your website. In fact yours was the only website that come up for me when I did the search, and it is just what I needed. Thank you so much!

Interesting Post. Relevantly, as many prominent experts and publications have noted, Obama is a member of Generation Jones–born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and GenXers.

Don’t miss this new video which addresses exactly this point. It features many top national TV pundits (including David Brooks, Clarence Page, Dick Morris, Juan Williams, Karen Tumulty, Howard Wolfson, Michael Barone, etc.) specifically talking about Obama and Palin’s membership in Generation Jones, as well as the surprisingly big role that GenJones is now playing in this election. The video is 5 minutes, and can be found here: http://www.generationjones.com/2008election.html

I think you’re right, you have to be authentic and that helps your business. I think the question is HOW do you do what you want and not risk your business?
You were wise to quietly support the teachers with coffee and doughnuts instead of pestering and badgering your current customers. You did what you wanted without asking your other customers to take sides on the issue.
