The U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy has launched a small-business blog that focuses on regulatory issues, small-business research and other issues of concern to small businesses.

The office is encouraging small business owners and other stakeholders to check out the "Small Business Watchdog" and post a comment or question. The Office of Advocacy is the small-business watchdog of the federal government and represents the views of small business to federal agencies, Congress and the president.

The Small Business Watchdog blog can be found at http://weblog.sba.gov/blog-advo.
