Friends of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

The most immediate priority facing our nation is to create jobs for the 25 million Americans who are unemployed, underemployed, or have simply given up looking for work. There are specific steps Congress and the administration can take right now to spur faster job growth in America’s private sector without adding to the deficit:

• Produce American Energy and Rebuild Our Infrastructure
• Expand Trade and Tourism
• Enact Regulatory and Legal Reform
• Encourage Innovation
• Control Government Spending and Reform Entitlements

Take action now in support of immediate steps to get Americans back to work.
