The rule of law is the bedrock of a strong economy is a top concern of a relatively new national small business coalition, Integrity Matters. Audrey Roofeh, who founded the organization this past April, told podcast host Frank Knapp that when she heard many complaints from some of her consulting clients about how their federal contracts had been cancelled, and they would not receive payment for services already provided.

Roofeh talked about the two main goals of Integrity Matters: 1) Protecting the Rule of Law and 2) Defend Independent Institutions.

Roofeh argues that small business owners have an important role to play in educating the public about the need to defend democratic norms and economic stability.
