I’ve been thinking. If you’ve been thinking it’s more difficult to get real attention from a major organization, you’re not crazy. It’s true. There is a new reality.

One of the observations that have been made by many voters in this election has been, "I didn't expect to see this in my lifetime."
I know, I know. The news is everywhere and it's hard to escape. You don't need CNN to tell you that the U.S. economy sucks. Oftentimes, small business owners are the first to feel the pinch.
