Small Business Issues & Advocacy

Decisions are being made every day in Washington that impact your bottom line—decisions affecting the cost of health insurance, the risk of class action lawsuits, the time you spend filling out paperwork, and the list goes on. The Chamber is here to make your voice heard.

Find the tools and information you need to help you be an effective advocate for American business on these important issues:

	Health Care—Improve affordable access to quality health care for small business owners and their employees.
	Red Tape—Fight burdensome federal regulations and paperwork requirements that produce questionable benefits.
	Tax Reform—Promote a tax policy that allows small business the opportunity to reinvest more money to grow their businesses.
	Workforce Flexibility—Empower small businesses by providing a level playing field to hire, train, and retrain a qualified workforce.
	Frivolous Lawsuits—Limit outlandish punitive damages that are crafted to force large settlements regardless of the small businesses' degree of responsibility for the harm done.
	Infrastructure—Provide small businesses unfettered access to a safe, cost-effective and reliable infrastructure that will support a stable flow of goods and services.
	Government Resources—Encourage the efficient use of limited resources that the federal government has dedicated to small business.
	Import/Export—Give small businesses the opportunity to participate in the worldwide marketplace with as few restrictions as their international competitors.
