USFSB maintains SMALL BIZ PAC, a political action committee in which our Members can pool their resources and
through our STRENGTH IN NUMBERS create the best possible results for small
businesses.
SMALL BIZ PAC is the legal entity,
created by USFSB, that allows small business owners and employees to pool their
political contributions in order to have a greater impact on the political
process. SMALL BIZ PAC has contributed
to many candidates for Congress since its inception in 1986.
SMALL BIZ PAC is non-partisan and
contributes to candidates, from all major political parties, who are pro small
business.
USFSB’s Members can contribute
modest amounts of money and SMALL BIZ PAC will pools those resources to make
contributions of usually $500 to $1,000 to pro small business candidates. The lifeblood of all political candidates is
votes and campaign funds. Small
contributions made directly to a candidate, although helpful, do not have the
impact that a larger contribution can have on the candidate’s campaign. The contributions made by our SMALL BIZ PAC
give our Members more clout for their money and we all enjoy greater benefits.
Some of our Members contribute
monthly while others make one contribution a year. There is no minimum as every dollar helps
and, by law, the maximum that can be given is $5,000 per election cycle.
Contributing is easy. You can write a check, payable to SMALL BIZ PAC, and mail it to:
USFSB Government Affairs Office
6916 Wolf Run Shoals
Fairfax Station, VA 22039
or you can click here and contribute via credit card online.
USFSB wants our Members to be
involved. Our SMALL BIZ PAC is always
looking for interested Members to serve on our SMALL BIZ PAC Advisory
Board. This Board screens candidates,
for their stance on small business issues, their need for campaign funds, and
their capacity to win. Recommendations
are made by the Advisory Board as to who qualifies for a SMALL BIZ PAC
contribution and the amount of the contribution. If you would like to learn more about being
on USFSB’s Advisory Board, please contact Karl Ottosen at Karlo@usfsb.com.
