Today I received the following email which I thought may be of interest for those who have chosen to work for themselves:

"It is with deep regret that I will have to purchase elsewhere my wholesale order. While I respect your political opinion, I do not wish to see it on the front page of a business, whether it be on a website or brick and mortar store front.

You have a very good product - why not concentrate on selling more of it and donating the funds to your favorite candidate. Maybe even consider the amount of new business you will be losing by maintaining this stance.

Of course, this is not my business, but you have to wonder how many others see this and decide to purchase from another supplier.

All the best to you in the future."


This was my reply:

"Dear (name removed),

Thank you for having the courage and taking the effort to communicate your thoughts with me, few have done so; for this, you have my sincere respect.

One of the most rewarding part of working for myself is that I'm never asked to do anything that compromises my core ethics, one of which is to have the courage to step up and do my small part as a participant/custodian of my community. Even though this guideline may cause me the loss of business in some cases, logic compels me to act in a fashion that aids in the long term welfare and prosperity of the entire community (and therefore myself).

The welfare of my neighbor *is* in my best interest. A well appointed mansion in the midst of a shanty town is no castle in my book. So you and I both do what we feel is best, which includes respecting well-reasoned descenting views.

Again, thank you for taking the time to communicate and for doing so with composure and eloquence.

Paula Kates
Owner/Artist, PJ Soaps"

I didn't see anything political on your site. I don't really advertise anything political. I too am relictant to support a business who has a philosophy that I feel is wrong. However, I know that most of my customers are far to the left of me, so there's no reason to impose my beliefs onto them.

Oh I see it now. While I don't agree with your politics, how could anyone see that blurb over the soaps?!
