these guys speak as if they represent all small businesses. They don't and we need to do something to combat them.

1. Definitely!
We will not be renewing our membership. They mailed us numerous pieces of junk supporting Bush.

Apparently, they only support the biggest of "small business"

3. Why don't you start one?
I've considered doing it as part of my semi-retirement program. The GOP has stolen the Small Business issue from the Democrats, and no one seems willing to step up and work at getting it back.

4. I'm toying with idea
I'm already involved with several projects and we just had a baby. But I have started talking to some folks about it.

5. Please keep me informed
..and congrats on the new family member!!!

I'd be a very willing advocate for something like this. Either active or passive. Would also have some 'venture' capital. Not a lot, but some.

Was planning on fielding a national inquiry on this idea myself over the summer. Try to get feedback at the local level all over the country....
