Media and Politics. That's ME. SEC changes are coming for small American business. It's time to set them FREE.

Small business in America must raise capital for start-up or expansion. Limitations on how they can do that mainly centers around NOT being able to advertise to the public when selling private unregistered securities. The SEC 504 Reg D and other "Rules" don't allow it. Selecting this "Exemption" from registration also means that they cannot advertise in any manner to find potential investors.

Meanwhile, trying to sell stock in a small private venture is nearly impossible anyway if you have only a hand full of relatives and friends with capital and an open mind to risk.

Therefore, I propose that this method of raising capital by offering stocks, bonds or other securities, must be opened up further so that small businesses CAN advertise to reach a wider investment audience cost effectively and quickly.

To do so will greatly increase capital (NOT LOANS) flowing into small American businesses that will be spent in America generating new jobs, purchasing materials, stimulating the real estate market through rentals or ownership, R&D, manufacturing new products and leading to enrichment of owners and investors.

We need to stop looking to celebrities for advice. I know Arianna likes to meet celebrities, but this guy is a novice, if you really want to know how to use the web talk to someone in the Obama campaign.

This celebrity involvement in serious issues is getting embarrassing.

Thanks for educating me. Really quite valuable points of view as well as factual information. I knew Arianna was a smart, I didn't know about Ashton. Wow.
