                   SUPPORT OF H.R. 2940 AND H.R. 2930

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. PHIL GINGREY

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 3, 2011

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a proud 
supporter of H.R. 2940, the Access to Capital for Job Creators Act and 
H.R. 2930, The Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act, both of which seek 
to help entrepreneurs and small business owners access the capital they 
need to start or expand their business.
  Providing entrepreneurs with the ability to raise more capital will 
lead to further innovation and a more favorable business model, for 
small businessmen and women.
  Mr. Speaker, the House has passed 15 jobs bills--the `Forgotten 
Fifteen' that are languishing in the Senate. With over 46 million 
Americans living in poverty, we cannot afford to wait any longer.
  I urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to support these 
critical bills.
