Kerry sent LTTE to LATimes re article on Katrina/small business loans

[blm]

This is ONE way to cut through when media freezes out Dem lawmakers.



When I read the Oct. 7 article, "Small Businesses Feel Lost in Bureaucratic Thicket," I wondered what small-business owner would agree with the Bush administration that the "disaster loan program" is working fine.

As of Oct. 7, six weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit, the Small Business Administration had approved only 25 loans to small businesses.

Despite the Bush administration's excuses, tens of thousands of small business owners still have no way to pay their bills and start rebuilding their lives.

Small businesses can't wait months for the SBA to get its act together.

They need access to grants and loans now.

1. Wow!

I guess that's one way to make a point! Maybe it will become a trend :shrug:

2. Funny, how LATimes didn't bother getting a quote in the first place from

the leading Democrat on the Small Business Committee, even after he submitted legislation on behalf of Katrina's small business owners a MONTH ago.

Sadly, that's how corporate media operates far too often.
