Dear Mr. President,

I am like most of the people in the U. S., and these are the things that matter to us. Please make your best efforts to provide us with:
 
~A safe place to live and work.
~A healthy economy.
~Freedom to make different choices, even if they are not your choices.
~A business environment that is not burdened by excessive taxes and regulations.
~Healthcare that is affordable for me and my employees.
~A future that I can feel proud to hand over to our children.
 
Our individual votes put you in office and we are counting on you to be a strong leader who will bear this incredible burden and lead with integrity, honor and vision to restore us to prosperity and a secure peace.
 
Count on us to keep watch on how you are progressing. We'll do our part and be active participants in making the changes we need to make to support you.
 
Our lives, economy, health and future are in your hands. We trust (and will verify) that you will be the leader we all need.
 
Here's to our success!

The Small Business Advice Podcast That's Shorter Than Your Coffee Break
Local, state, and federal U.S. government contracts are NOT easy to get.  However, they tend to bring in good money, particularly for small business owners who aren't used to multi-thousand or million dollar deals.  And, it's unlikely our government is going to go out of business any time soon - a major consideration in this economy!  This week's guest on Startup BizCast is Gloria Berthold Larkin.
