Huckabee's Entrepreneurship and Innovation (section page)

Small Businesses

• “The federal government needs to ease the regulation burden on businesses, and eliminate many of the fees, procedures, rules and forms that make small business so difficult.” (SBE)
• "Small businesses are the backbone of American life." (FBMH)

Technology

• (Note: this quote is from 2008) "A vendor experienced in political Web site design wanted $250,000 for a 3-month contract, plus 6% of contributions. We turned to some old friends [instead], for $11,000 and no cut of the contributions. Looking back, this was one of the most important moves we made in those early months. The Web became one of the most powerful, most successful tools we had for getting our message out and bringing contributions in. If we hadn't had such a fantastic online presence at such a bargain price, we would have never achieved the results we did." (OTIMHT)
