It’s done. I testified earlier today before the Senate
Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. It turns out things were a
little rushed at the hearing — I was only given about three minutes to deliver
my verbal testimony (which is very short, especially given the length of my
written testimony) — and
Ranking Member Sen. Olympia Snowe wasn’t able to be there for the panel I was
on. But I think I got my point across, and Committee Chair Sen. Mary Landrieu
commented that the different opinions on the panel made for some interesting
debate.
As I began to prepare my testimony last Friday, I was
advised that I could submit a lengthy
written testimony and
summarize the high points in my verbal testimony. To read more about why I did
this, and to read the
full
text of my written testimony, go

We’re supposed to get a video of the hearing soon, and
you’ll be the first to know when we do. Thanks for your continued support of
America’s small business owners. Let’s all cross our fingers that this hearing
and other things that are in motion will trigger some needed beneficial changes
for our small business community.
Dedicated to Your Continued Success,
Chris
