There is no more important time to come to Washington than now. Our elected officials have an enormous obligation to stimulate and repair our economy. Congressional leadership is reacting to the new policies of the Administration, which will have a direct impact on the future of our community. Rules and regulations that impact our businesses and their bottom line are being designed and refined. You must be at the table to ensure those changes are beneficial and not harmful. If we expect to be included and represented effectively, the Hispanic business community must deepen relationships in Congress and maintain a high profile with key decision makers.
