I am particularly concerned that these executive actions will lead to fewer small businesses participating in the Federal marketplace.

These pleas were ignored by the Department of Labor, and the Blacklisting rule became final on August 24th.

Regrettably, President Obama either was not listening, or worse, he simply ignored our appeals.

What are you and your agency doing to alleviate the ongoing tax concerns of these 28 million small businesses?

Please protect small businesses like mine and give us certainty that federal agencies in Washington are not going to needlessly threaten our business.

Owning your own business and being your own boss is part of an American dream.

I believe these misguided policy changes are a threat to small businesses and need to be reconsidered.

Thank you, Congressman Perlmutter, for going on and serving as an important asset to help get this bill through.

I would like to thank the Chairman, and also Chairman Bishop for holding this hearing today.

One of the biggest concerns I hear from small businesses and their owners... is that Federal regulations have gotten out of control.

Based on what we've heard here today, it is evident to me that the VA and the Obama administration have failed our veterans, small business owners, and American taxpayer.
