On behalf of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council), I am writing to congratulate you for your outstanding score on our “Small Business Scorecard for the 111th Congress.”

Your score designates you as a Champion of the Entrepreneur, our highest scorecard ranking.

Your voting score demonstrates that you listen to the job-creating sector..,

America's small business owners need Champions like you in the Congress. Economic conditions remain tough, and confidence continues to suffer with lingering policy uncertainties and government-imposed costs rising. Your voting record shows that you stood strong with entrepreneurs and against legislation that raised taxes, health coverage costs and regulatory burdens. SBE Council also scored votes related to excessive government spending, as deep debt will undermine U.S. economic recovery and competitiveness while increasing the likelihood that taxes will go higher.

SBE Council appreciates your support of lower taxes, affordable health coverage, less government intrusion and fiscal sanity all of which will bring confidence back to America's entrepreneurs.
