Short Survey for Business & Community Leaders
As you may recall, last summer the Chamber launched “Friends of the U.S.
Chamber,” a comprehensive advocacy initiative, which goes beyond
VoteForBusiness (VFB) by directly communicating with participants on issues
they select and providing them with the information and resources to voice
their opinion. Check out the website at
www.friendsoftheuschamber.com.
In an effort to ensure “Friends of the U.S. Chamber” is providing
information on the most important issues of the day, we’ve created a short
one page survey (eight questions), and would ask you to take the survey and
encourage you to share it with you members, co-workers, friends, family,
neighbors and anyone else you know is interested in advancing pro-business
issues in Congress. Here’s a link to the survey:

Thank you in advance of your participation, and if you have any questions or
we can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to call.
