ABC of Indiana is announcing their support of the National ABC Free Enterprise Alliance’s launching of Halt The Assault. The target audience is you, the employees of your companies and the general public.

This campaign focuses on three important themes:

1. jobs;
2. the economy; and
3. how intrusive government regulations stymie growth in those areas.

The health care debate, and our opposition to the current law, will be a major topic throughout the campaign.

Just a few of the tools HaltTheAssault.com will include are:

• daily blog posts;
  
• links to relevant news stories;
  
• issue pages; and
  
• an opportunity for individual companies to submit their pictures and stories about how these hurdles have affected their company.

For those that choose to sign up, they will also receive a weekly newsletter that highlights the most important news from that week. In addition, a political component will be added later this spring in preparation for the November elections.

Recent Rasmussen and Free Enterprise Alliance polls show that small business owners are the most respected profession in America. Small business owners receive a 90% favorability rating, while in contrast, members of Congress, bureaucrats and union bosses and CEO’s of large corporations are well below 40%. Since the vast majority of ABC member companies are considered small businesses, it only makes sense for us to seize upon this opportunity and make our voice heard on these very important issues.
