Support Small Businesses;
Contact your Legislators Today!
As Small Business Month comes to an end, RAM is urging members to contact their elected officials to request that they make lowering mandated costs a priority this session. At a time when most retailers continue to experience flat or down sales while business costs continue to increase, it is imperative that policymakers at the state and federal level reform those areas of existing law that are contributing to the cost problems facing businesses in Massachusetts. At the federal level, regulation is needed to reign in the ever increasing interchange fees being charged to merchants by credit card companies, while the three areas of focus in Massachusetts state law include small business health insurance, energy pricing, and unemployment insurance.

Help turn the tide against those trying to make it harder
for you to run your small business!
Join RAM and fellow small business owners from across the Commonwealth for the Massachusetts Small Business Summit!
Every week, advocates storm the Massachusetts State House, pushing lawmakers to support higher labor costs, higher energy costs, and higher healthcare costs. Now, it's your turn. Please save the date to help turn the tide against those trying to make it harder for you to run your small business.
We ask that you participate in a day to raise the small business banner in Boston and fight to make Massachusetts more competitive and affordable for employers!
Please share this among your network of small business owners so that we have strength in numbers.
