Small Business Has Another Challenge

The House passed cap and trade in 2009, but fortunately the Senate never agreed to the measure. Then the EPA decided with the President that they would begin to implement the taxation policy on energy just as if it had been passed - an end run around the Congress and illegal.

Now, John Bryson has been nominated by the President to be Secretary of Commerce. The Commerce Department, to me, is one of the key government agencies. It supports, nurtures, looks out for, and paves the way for commerce in this country and abroad. We do not need as the head of this agency someone who supports curtailing energy development, taxing energy usage, and otherwise crimping economic development.

Therefore his nomination needs to be blocked by the Senate. Encourage your Senators to vote against confirmation.

Being in business in this country - especially small business and entrepreneurial business - is more difficult than ever before, and we don't need more roadblocks from the national level. We need need a business advocate. Bryson is far from that.

Do you think we are going to need a eulogy for Constitutional Law?

I LOVE that Michelle Bachmann said she would abolish the EPA in the GOP debate on Monday night!

Howdy and evening to you Steve

Steve, that nomination of Bryson sure does need to be blocked by the Senate. Those that don't help to block it, need do be voted out on to the streets.

Have a good one
