Join me today at 2pm ET for a Tweetchat surrounding the live broadcast of OPENForum’s Q and A with Karen Mills, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Small business owners posed questions for Mills and OPENForum’s Scott Roen will moderate the discussion.

In light of the recent Small Business Jobs Bill, tight lending environment, and impending changes to how small businesses deal with health care, I thought it might be interesting to hang out with some other small business owners to chat live on Twitter during the event.

Here’s how you can join

1) Bookmark this page – http://openforum.com/whitehouse – and fire it up at 1pm CT today in a browser window.
2) Login or Join Tweetchat (free tool that facilitates this kind of thing) – enter #OPENLive as the hashtag and the join the conversation
(Yes, you will need to have two browser windows open and do a bit of multi-tasking, but you can do it!)

Here are two recent articles on the Jobs Bill that I found interesting.

• 2 Things You Can Do in Response to the Small Business Jobs Act
• Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 Does Little for Small Business

FYI – I contribute to OPENForum as a blogger, but this discussion is not sponsored in any way by AMEX. I just thought it might be useful.
