I am hopeful that with this change new initiatives will surface--disruption ALWAYS affords opportunities! We have been a little stuck for a variety of reasons--not necessarily party related. Many issues important to me and my business have simply not been addressed. I applaud you for being ready to get to work and for your desire to proactively participate in the FORMATION not just the support/non-support of legislation! This allows each initiative to be addressed as an individual issue and frees us all for ideation and inspired solutions. I am looking forward to the future where ALL opportunity has always and will always lie. Terry,

As a tax professional and Enrolled Agent, the opportunity to be supportive of efforts toward the understanding of tax laws and their effects on small business owners would be welcome. Leadership and training in these areas is needed, and I would be happy to join with you to this end. I am very interested in joining your effort.

I am a 24-year veteran of the tax preparation business, and an Enrolled Agent. I have been totally frustrated by the lack of understanding by the general public - and surely women business owners - of tax laws and their implications. The opportunity to provide leadership and training in these areas would be more than welcome. Please contact me any time. I am very interested in joining your effort.

NFIB tracks the voting percentage of congress on small business issues and the legislator's our state has voted in supported far less than 20% of all small business legislation last year. I am definately interested in joining your team and hope that we are successful at uniting with others in an effort to provide much needed guidance on small business issues. I also believe that small business is going to have to provide leadership to our youth through education and mentorship to develop a future leaders and a workforce that sees this is the land of opportunity and success is something to be valued and appreciated.

Owning a staffing firm, I can see that some of the changes will hurt not just my business, but most of my clients. To name just a few, the Free Choice Act, the Family Medical Leave Act and, of course, the proposed health care changes will hurt most businesses. I will help any way that I can to promote a Free Market Economy and all of the above. In NM, ALL our Senate and House seats are now Democrats for the first time ever!

Well, I am not particularly overjoyed with the election outcome, however, I am hopeful. BHO's campaign was masterful and did a superb job of raising cash (the fuel that boosts any campaign). I applaud them. I believe the key for everyone is to give BHO a chance and pray for his team daily. As entrepreneurs and those who believe in less government, we need to make ourselves known to our new leaders and insure they understand that we are there to help, not carp from the sidelines. The sun did come up today, and the world continues to turn... and good or bad, we will all survive and progress. We all knew (even the staunch conservatives) that DC needed a change. So, let us rally behind the new leadership and help make OUR country united. Someone famous once said, ‘all beginnings are hopeful’.

I am so dismayed at what is going on in this country. I think it is of the utmost importance to start TODAY to fight the media, the congress, the schools. The libs have infiltrated every aspect of society and we need to start counteracting the destruction they have done and prevent more from happening. Today, our enemies are elated, the 60"s radicals and the kids they have brainwashed are dancing in the streets. I even saw a banner of the hammer and sickle last night at an Obama party. How telling is that?!? I will help with this. I am so dismayed at what is going on in this country.

The people choose polish and promises over experience. I will find it a challenge to get behind the Democratic policies and viewpoints. I have great concern for small business and their welfare when a greater tax burden may be placed on them and on us individually. I do have confidence in WIPP and other organizations in keeping the President and Congress focusing on small business importance. Becky S.
