As we approach America 250 - and revisit the Declaration of Independence - one principle stands out: lawmaking belongs with Congress, not with regulators. Read more about the Litigation Center’s work advancing that principle. bit.ly/4uzYV4f
The Declaration condemned taxes imposed without representation. We champion the Founders’ insistence on governance rooted in the consent of the governed, opposing efforts to tax businesses that trample Congress’s limits. No taxation without representation! bit.ly/4dQhbQI

Small businesses are our economic backbone, and they need immediate relief from rising costs and supply chain disruptions.
