On Thursday, May 12, the House Small Business Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a joint full committee hearing entitled Politicizing Procurement: Will President Obama's Proposal Curb Free Speech and Hurt Small Business?. The hearing examined the proposed Obama Executive Order ("EO") mandating the disclosure of political donations by government contractors as a prerequisite to receiving a government contract, and evaluate its impact and consequences upon the federal acquisition system.
Warning: The term "small business" here is defined as <500 employees, most likely 200+ emp. This event was hijacked by the gop for Big Biz -and only one DEM witness was allowed. The American Made Alliance submitted for the record by Cong Elijah Cummings. After this order is in place it will be more obvious who PAID to play. Roscoe Bartlett was smart to sit this one out! Put an end to those poker games where lobbyists lose and the candidate always wins.
