In relation to
payingattentionandappalled's comment
"Fools" in another diary, I'm taking the donkey by the ears and announcing the start of (at least informally for now) the
Progressive Business Alliance.
If you run a business or have a special skill that could be valuable in business, please email me with a description of the business and your contact info. I've already sent out a quick alert to many in my own Dean network of grassroots and am beginning to receive feedback (it's something that's been bubbling as an idea elsewhere too).
More after the fold...
My email is:

Write "Business Alliance" in the subject line so I know who you are. Again, please add what you do and relevant contact info.
I'm a graphic designer so it'll be fairly easy for me to lay a directory out similar to the guides payingattentionandappalled describes. Something like a yellow pages/ chamber of commerce directory.
I've already received responses from different states so the book will be listed first by state and then by specialty within those states.
I'll send a PDF to all the folks who want to be listed in the directory and to those who request it.
Please feel free to add your comments, suggestions, and concerns on this idea.
