There was a “pro-business” Supreme Court ruling yesterday that scares me as a small business owner. At issue were campaign contributions from corporations to political campaigns (and I assume PACs and the like).

Brad Feld has a post with some suggestions for the Obama Administration (man, I love saying that).
It is a good idea. It would be cool if we all put forth some suggestions, but in the mean time I like one of Brad’s suggestions so much that I want to repost it here:
