From sponsoring Little League teams to getting neighbors back to work, our local businesses - and their employees - are the backbone of our communities. That\u2019s something that\u2019s clear to me every time I visit one of the thousands of businesses right here in our area.\nWe need a national economy that rewards small business owners by making it easier for them to buy, sell and hire. That\u2019s why, when I\u2019m working on Capitol Hill, I\u2019m doing everything that I can to remove the roadblocks to success so the job creators can get this country back to work.\nThis Saturday, you can play an important part too. Get out and shop local - Visit the small businesses and family shops that make our communities unique and special.\nBy empowering our local small businesses we all can have a hand in moving our communities, and country, forward.\u201d\n \n###\nCongressman Mike Fitzpatrick is serving his third term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
