In Case You Missed It: Ron Paul Offers Relief for Small Business; Allows grace period for regulatory compliance
LAKE JACKSON, Texas - This week, 2012 Republican Presidential candidate, Congressman Ron Paul introduced a bill on the House Floor that would alleviate the onerous regulations the federal government imposes on small businesses, which are the backbone of the U.S. economy.
H.R. 3267, the Protect Small Business Jobs Act of 2011, would grant small businesses a six-month grace period to comply with federal regulations.
Speaking about the bill on the House floor, Congressman Paul said:
"At a time of continuing high unemployment and stagnant growth, doesn't it make sense to give small businesses a reasonable time to comply with federal regulations rather than just hitting them with job-destroying fines and legal bills?
"I hope all my colleagues will stand up for small businesses and their current and potential employees by cosponsoring the Protect Small Business Jobs Act."
The full text of H.R 3267 can be found here.

In Case You Missed It: Ron Paul Polling Top Three in Key Early Voting States; Solid double-digit support in Iowa, New Hampshire,
and South Carolina
and South Carolina
LAKE JACKSON, Texas - A CNN/Time poll released yesterday shows Congressman Paul polling third in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Dr. Paul, whose loyal base of support is unlikely to transfer to any of his GOP competitors, polled at a strong 12 percent in all three states.
"The steady, growing support Ron Paul earns in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina is a direct result of his winning message of Constitutionally-limited government, sound money, and a strong national defense," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
Full poll results can be found here.
