And this is why Blaze readers are pretty much awesome

Remember that article TheBlaze publishedyesterday about Kerri Smith, the American entrepreneur who was struggling against government regulations to bring her unique invention to market?

In the article, we detailed how she came up with her product, the regulatory hoops she was made to jump through, and the “crowdfunding” campaign she started to raise the funds necessary to get her business off the ground.

Well, as of 6:30 PM [EST] tonight, Kerry has raised more than enough capital to get her business started thanks to everyone who contributed to her campaign.

This is an awesome victory for small businesses and American entrepreneurs everywhere.

“Huzzahs!” all around.
