March 12, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- A post recently appeared at Mainstreet.com, directed to Jim Cramer of CNBC's "Mad Money". CNBC is a subsidiary of NBC Universal, which is co-owned by General Electric (NYSE: GE) and Paris-traded Vivendi (EPA: VIV).

The post, by Brad Smith of SME Capital Markets (http://www.smecapitalmarkets.net), challenges Cramer to pursue organizing a 2009 Whitehouse Conference on Small Business -- and we've re-posted it below.

We also contacted Mr. Smith about his post, and he said, "I know from attending the 1995 Whitehouse Conference on Small Business, as an adviser to the Texas Delegation, that this platform is a viable way for Main Street Small Businesses to make constructive policy recommendations."

If you're compelled to voice support for Mr. Smith's recommendation, you can do so by asking your Senators, Congressmen and local business and political advocates to call on the Obama Administration to hold a 2009 Conference.

Mr. Smith's post follows:

Posted March 9, 2009 / Recommendation Re: Cramer Takes on the White House, Frank Rich and Jon Stewart (http://www.mainstreet.com/node/11229/comment)

Dear Jim,

I know that you care passionately about Main Street, investors and our country.

I seriously recommend that you take constructive action by launching a project to organize a 2009 Whitehouse Conference on Small Business.

Main Street small business owners need a policy platform. The model for gathering small business policy recommendations is a Whitehouse Conference on Small Business. This link offers information about the last Whitehouse Conference on Small Business. http://www.sbaer.uca.edu/research/sba/1995/pdf/16.pdf It was held in 1995.

The 1995 Whitehouse Conference on Small Business commission was chaired by Alan J. Patricof. A short conversation with Alan will help you launch the project. Your passion to help Main Street will be rewarded on many levels by launching an initiative to organize and hold a 2009 Whitehouse Conference on Small Business.

Please know that I am making this recommendation because I believe that it will help you make a difference by bringing small business policy recommendations to Whitehouse, Congressional and Federal Agency decision makers.

Please contact me if you need more information to act on this recommendation."
