I received an email from The San Fernando Business Journal asking me to comment on who I thought would be the best presidential candidate for adult business.  Democratic candidate Mike Gravel gave an inspirational speech at FSC’s fundraising event last October.  Larry Flynt held a fundraiser for Dennis Kucinich.  However, no viable candidate has aligned him or herself with our industry.  We have a great deal of work to do before we will ever see a frontrunner embrace an endorsement from the adult entertainment Industry, but when considering who to vote for, consider the response I gave to the Journal:

The candidate who would be best for the adult entertainment industry is the one who:

*    Respects adults’ rights to be adults

*    Respects and upholds our Constitution

*    Does not impose his/her personal morality on others

Of the candidates left in this Presidential race, ask yourself, “Who do I think will respect my ability to make choices for myself about what products I buy, what I read and what movies I can watch?” – then you’ll know who is the best candidate for our industry.

We in the adult entertainment industry complain a great deal about government intervention and oppression--and rightfully so.  However, I have little to no patience for complaints from those who don’t vote.  Now, more than ever, when the races are so close, EVERY VOTE COUNTS!  We have an opportunity to do something other than complain.  Pay attention to what the candidates are saying, go to their websites keeping in mind the criteria I listed above and then…stop whining and VOTE!
