Dear President Obama

There has been a great deal said of late that there are critical indicators that show our economy is strong, stable and growing. I applaud those indicators but with guarded optimism.  As a devout entrepreneur I firmly believe that small business is the one and only viable answer to improving our economy. While “big business” makes for great interviews on the nightly national news, it is small business that is the heart beat of the United States economy.

As I sit here watching CSPAN2 waiting for hopefully the Senate vote on the money to allocated to the SBA for small business financing I applaud you for your drive to make this bill happen and the understanding that small business is what is going to create the next paradigm shift that will provide for new industries and jobs in 2010 and into the future.

I would hope that in fact the day you sign this bill for the SBA that you would be perhaps surrounded by enthusiastic small business owners and entrepreneurs that will without fail trumpet the signing. Please President Obama please consider this blog post a request to be one of those enthusiastic entrepreneurs. I would love to shake your hand and thank you for your vision, dreams and aspirations for the United States as we move forward.

Regards,

Patrick J. Fox

President Obama, SBA, and US Senate…. getter done…….

Dear President Obama, United States Senate and ultimately the SBA:

The United States of America has long the been the breeding land of entrepreneurship. Most countries throughout the world would be jealous of entrepreneurial spirit that has made the United States the economic power that it became.  I know President that you have a rather full plate currently with the General putting his foot in his mouth, BP and Arizona, but please make a few calls to your friends in the Senate and get the SBA funding bill passed.

Entrepreneurs all over the United States are waiting to kick some butt again and revitalize the United States Economy and we quickly need action on the SBA funding bill in order to move our great nation forward.

House Passes Bid to Boost Small-Business Loans – WSJ Coverage
The U.S. House approved legislation Thursday to create a $30 billion fund to boost lending to small businesses through community banks. The vote was 241-182. The bill will now be combined with a $3.5 billion package of tax cuts directed at small businesses, which the House passed earlier this week and sent to the Senate for approval. “This bill will increase credit to small businesses and get them back on their feet, and help them continue to add jobs,” Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D., Colo.) said during House floor debate.

Please all of you that read this blog please call your Senators and tell them to finish the job and get this passed.
