2. Who’s behind all this?
   
   The Best Independent Restaurants Association (BIRA) was formed to ensure small business restaurants have the essential tools they need to get more customers, operate their restaurants more efficiently and earn more money for their families. ForkOverYourVote.com is sponsored by BIRA members longing for a way to bring fun and families into the election process.
