Senate Should Keep Working on Jobs Plan to Help Small Businesses
Statement by John Arensmeyer, CEO, Small Business Majority:
Senators put politics over the good of American small businesses today when they failed to pass the White House's jobs bill. We urge legislators to work out their differences and get a version of this bill passed immediately.
Something must be done now to stimulate our flagging economy, put people back to work and give small businesses the help they need to hire and grow. While the jobs plan isn't a cure-all for our financial woes, it's a significant move in the right direction.
We must do something to jumpstart our economy. We urge the Senate to move quickly on a jobs plan that will give small businesses the opportunities they need to flourish.
Small Business Majority is a national nonpartisan small business advocacy organization focused on solving the biggest problems facing America's 28 million small businesses. We conduct extensive opinion and economic research and work with small business owners, policy experts and elected officials nationwide to bring small business voices to the public policy table.
