Small business owners - Question about NFIB
Any small business owners here with information about National Federation of Independent Business? Worth the money? My guess is probably not, but I'd appreciate input.

1. I joined for a year, I joined the Chamber for a year, but I always kept
my Better Business Bureau membership. I liked the BBB.

2. NFIB = right wing tools.
At election time you will get voting instructions. When * was running you would see his mug on all of the propaganda. I stopped contributing at that point.

5. Don''t know what your comment means.
I stand by my comments which come from years of membership here in Ohio! I woke up one day.

3. I worked for the NFIB years ago
Unlike the Chamber that votes the way a few large members want, the NFIB takes a monthly survey and then lobbies the way the members vote. This is very effective at the state level. You may not always agree with them but it is totally democratic in the voting.

Go to your state page on the NFIB site and see if the legislative victories are things you agree with.
