There are many reasons why you should contact your representative in Congress to support the Congressional Family Business Caucus<\/a>. Here are a few of them:<\/p>\n If you are a family business owner or someone who cares about the future of family businesses, we urge you to contact your representative in Congress and let them know that you support the Congressional Family Business Caucus<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#ff0000″ divider_style=”dotted” divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-8px||17px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#ff0000″ divider_style=”dotted” divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Few in Congress understand the power of America\u2019s family businesses. There are 32.4 million family businesses<\/strong> in the U.S. We are the largest private employer<\/strong> in the country, representing over 83 million workers<\/strong>. Family businesses contribute $7.7 trillion<\/strong> annually to the economy.<\/p>\n Yet, few in our Congress know or understand our power. If you write, call, or ask your Congressperson<\/a> to join the new bipartisan Congressional Family Business Caucus<\/a> it will dramatically help our cause in educating members of Congress on what family business concerns are right now: fighting for lower taxes<\/strong>, helping with a challenging labor market<\/strong>, and stopping harmful policies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Have them join Representatives Jodey Arrington (R-TX), Brad Schneider (D-IL), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), and Henry Cuellar (D-TX) who serve as the caucus co-chairs.<\/p>\n It is the first Congressional caucus focused solely on the critical issues facing generationally-owned family businesses of all sizes and industries across the United States.<\/p>\n You can help us make a difference right now. Again, we ask that you write, call, or ask your representative to help America\u2019s family businesses. Ask them to join the first Congressional Family Business Caucus right now.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Become a member text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/donate-2\/” global_module=”5822″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we’re asking you to consider becoming a member.<\/p>\n The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses<\/a> and protecting a lifetime of savings<\/a> has never been greater.
