(OPEN):
A NEWLY LAUNCHED CAMPAIGN BY THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF
INDEPENDENT BUSINESS TARGETS "ONEROUS" AND "UNPREDICTABLE"
GOVERNMENT-REGULATIONS--WHICH, THE ORGANIZATION SAYS, ARE ON THE RISE,
AND ARE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTING AMERICAN JOBS, GROWTH, AND COMPETITION.
"SMALL BUSINESSES FOR SENSIBLE REGULATIONS" IS A COALITION OF
MANUFACTURERS, FARMERS, RETAILERS, AND OTHER BUSINESSES THAT'S CHAIRED
BY FORMER U-S SENATOR BLANCHE LINCOLN...
(LINCOLN):
"THE UNITED STATES CURRENTLY SPENDS AN ESTIMATED ONE-POINT-75-TRILLION
DOLLARS, ANNUALLY, TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT-RULES. AND, THAT
NUMBER IS ON THE RISE. WHILE SOME REGULATION IS ESSENTIAL, THERE
ARE AN UNPRECEDENTED 42-HUNDRED NEW REGULATIONS PENDING, AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL, TODAY--REGULATIONS WHICH ARE HITTING SMALL BUSINESSES, AND THE
JOBS [THAT] THEY CREATE, THE HARDEST. THIS IS SIMPLY UNSUSTAINABLE
IN A GROWING ECONOMY--WHEN WE NEED TO CREATE JOBS, NOW MORE THAN EVER."
(BRIDGE):
N-F-I-B PRESIDENT AND C-E-O, DAN DANNER, ADDS...
(DANNER):
"IN N-F-I-B'S
HISTORY, FEW ISSUES HAVE BEEN MORE IMPORTANT TO AMERICA'S SMALL
BUSINESSES THAN BRINGING BALANCE TO THE FEDERAL REGULATORY-PROCESS.
COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS IS INCREDIBLY COSTLY TO SMALL
BUSINESSES: THE AVERAGE BUSINESS-OWNER PAYS OVER 10-THOUSAND
DOLLARS, PER EMPLOYEE, TO STAY IN LINE WITH GOVERNMENT-RULES. THIS
NEW CAMPAIGN WILL GIVE VOICE TO THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE CALLING
FOR SENSIBLE REGULATIONS THAT [BOTH] PROTECT JOBS, AND DO NOT STIFLE
ECONOMIC-GROWTH."
