"President Obama is committed to helping small business succeed"

Good Afternoon,
Did you know that small businesses are the backbone of our economy, creating two out of every three new jobs in America?
President Obama is committed to helping small businesses succeed by making America the best place in the world to do business. He has signed into law 17 new tax cuts for small businesses. He launched the National Wireless Initiative to help bring high-speed wireless Internet access to 98 percent of Americans. And he launched Startup America, an initiative to celebrate, inspire and accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship throughout the nation.
It's also important to take the time to listen to folks on the ground about the challenges they face every day. That's why we went to Cleveland this week to talk directly with small business owners, and it's why your "Advise the Advisor" feedback is so important.
If we out-innovate, out-educate and out-build our global competitors, the future is ours to win. That's a challenge that we will tackle together, and I look forward to the work ahead.
Sincerely,
Austan Goolsbee
Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers

Mr. Goolsbee,
I received your e-mail and video visit from President Obama regarding small businesses. You may not be aware we who live in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i are in a battle to save our Town from the extinction of small businesses. Plans are in the works for Target, a big box store to build very soon. The property was sold by Kaneohe Ranch Land, the largest business properties landowner of Kailua. I am so disappointed knowing it will be the end of some small "Mom and Pop" stores which gives our Town a uniqueness and individuality. We are becoming "Any Town U.S.A." I know it's happening on the mainland too. Someone is allowing the big box stores to rule the country(world). Save our "Mom and Pop" stores!!! They are definitely the backbone of the world. Allow them to thrive and continue to be creative and keep the entrepreneurial spirit in us! We don't need to keep the wealth only amongst a few and the rest of us working for them. In fact I would say that the majority of the small businesses are happy with their earnings, that they don't expect to become another conglomerate or big box store. Just give them the financial breaks to survive and take care
of their family. There are big box stores in Hawai'i so it's not like we don't have a choice whether to shop there or not, just help us to keep our "Mom and Pop" stores too.
Mahalo for your time and consideration,
Helen T. W.
