What small businesses want from Washington

Calling all small business owners and entrepreneurs: What do you want from Washington?

We know the financial situation of the new year is keeping many of you awake at night, worried about higher taxes, provisions in the health care law, the ongoing struggle of access to capital and a myriad of other issues.

So tell us what your concerns are for 2013, and what you'd like President Obama and Congress to do about it. Email yours to cmcmillan@charlotteobserver.com.

We'll be featuring them in print and online.
Here's what you'll need to include:

• Name
• Business name
• Telephone number (won't be shared)
• Letter: any length. Begin with "Dear Washington." 

We look forward to reading them.
