NASE Pledge
Urge your Legislators to Sign the Micro-Business Pledge
The National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE) is asking all Members of the
U.S. Congress to reaffirm their support for our nation’s self-employed and
micro-business communities by signing the pledge to Protect
and Promote American Entrepreneurship.
During this difficult
economic time, America needs the self-employed and micro-businesses to marshal
their resources and grow the American economy by doing what they do best -
create, innovate, produce, build and grow. Thus, the NASE is asking our nation's
legislators to strengthen their commitment to actively advocate and promote
legislation in the current and future legislative sessions that will assist the
self-employed and micro-business communities as well as oppose any legislation
that may be detrimental to the continued success of this crucial group.
URGE YOUR LEGISLATORS TO SIGN ON TODAY TO THE PLEDGE TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURSHIP!!!
Pledge to Protect and Promote American Entrepreneurship
The 14 million
self-employed individuals and 4 million micro-businesses (10 or less
employees) within our nation are the backbone of America’s economy.
Micro-businesses alone employ 12.3 million workers and generate a
significant number of new jobs in America. And now, more than ever,
America needs this crucial segment of the small business population
to marshal their resources and grow the American economy by doing
what they do best - create, innovate, produce, build and grow.
Thus, I do solemnly pledge to the citizens of the state of
_____________________ and to the American people that:
In my capacity as a Member of Congress, I will actively advocate on
behalf of the self-employed and micro-businesses to promote
legislation, in current and future legislative sessions, that will
create an equal playing field and assist this vital, unique sector
of the small business population in the management and growth of
their businesses.
I will also, to the best of my ability, oppose and/or amend any and
all legislation that would hinder the success of the self-employed
and micro-business communities within the United States of America.
