Political Quotes

“For corporations with a boardroom full of lawyers and thousands of employees, exporting products is something they do every day. But for a small-business owner or startup entrepreneurs in places like Rockford, Galesburg, Peoria, or the Quad Cities, the deck is stacked against them on the global economic playing field. That is why today I introduced the Boosting America's Export Act. It will help small- and medium-sized businesses expand economic opportunity and create more good-paying American jobs. My bill will identify and assist small businesses that have the potential to sell the products in new markets. We already know that small businesses create two out of every three jobs and, by building a business climate that helps them grow and succeed, we will strengthen working families across our Nation. I strongly urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stand with me in this effort. ____________________”
