CAMEO Supports SBA as Cabinet Position; Says The Full Spectrum of Entrepreneurial Talent Must Be Tapped.

(PRWEB) January 13, 2012

CAMEO, (the California Association for Micro Enterprise Opportunity), applauds President Obamas move on Friday to elevate the head of the Small Business Administration to a cabinet-level position.

According to the Small Business Administration (http://web.sba.gov/faqs/faqIndexAll.cfm?areaid=24) , of all businesses in the U.S. 99.7 percent are small businesses with fewer than 500 employees. The Association for Enterprise Opportunity reports 88 percent are very small businesses with fewer than 5 employees (http://aeoworks.org/images/uploads/pages/US-MEBS-2008%20rev.pdf)

By elevating the head of the SBA to cabinet-level, President Obama recognizes the extreme importance that small and very small businesses hold for the American economy, says Claudia Viek, C.E.O. of CAMEO. Now the next step is to make sure the full spectrum of entrepreneurial talent is tapped from the young tech start-up to the experienced boomer who is becoming her own boss to the taco shop owner who is providing for his family to the long-term unemployed who has turned business owner.

According to the Kauffman Foundation and other research, start-ups of all types are the job creators. A shift is needed to move from old methods that may have worked for a different economy to a new innovative, creative and flexible method that will work for todays economy and support these locally grown and start-up businesses. The SBA cabinet position has the power to make sure that our new economy supports the entire range of entrepreneurs.

Company Information:

CAMEOs mission is to promote jobs, economic opportunity and community well-being through entrepreneurship training, business coaching and microfinance. CAMEO is Californias statewide Micro Enterprise association made up of over 160 organizations, agencies and individuals dedicated to furthering the fortunes of micro-businesses in California.

CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Endorses Rep. Ron Paul

Posted on by


Northbrook, IL (PRWEB) January 02, 2012

Top Republican presidential contender U.S. Rep. Ron Paul has been endorsed by former head of the CIAs Bin Laden Unit Michael Scheuer, reports Revolution PAC. In his endorsement, Scheuer backs Pauls longstanding non-interventionist foreign policy views and warns of bankruptcy and increased hostility toward Americans both at home and abroad should current bipartisan foreign adventurism continue.

Scheuer writes, Any other Republican candidate or a reelected Obama will keep lying to Americans by claiming that we are being attacked because of our liberties, gender-equality laws, and elections rather than because of Washingtons constant intervention in the Islamic world. This now two-decade-old lie which is abetted by most of the media has hidden from Americans the fact that all of the would-be Islamist attackers who have been captured in this country were motivated by the invasion of Iraq, U.S. support for Israel, or some other U.S. government action in the Muslim world.

A 22-year CIA veteran, Georgetown University Security Studies adjunct professor and bestselling author, Scheuer blasts the Obama administrations reckless nation-building efforts in the Middle East and sounds the alarm on a Western first strike on Iran.

Indeed, Washington, Tel Aviv, and London are already conducting a lethal, covert-action war inside Iran which is killing Iranian nuclear scientists and destroying nuclear-related facilities, as well as trying to goad Tehran into reacting with violence and thereby give the West a casus belli, continues Scheuer. Such a war would be a financial and military disaster for the United States, and would be watched with glee by Russian and Chinese leaders who while their countries would lose some trade with Iran during a war would applaud another U.S. self-inflicted would that further erodes the already failing economy that is the base of American power.

Scheuer notes that throughout the Republican primary campaign, Rep. Paul has raised more money from active duty military members than all other candidates, including Barack Obama.

What we have not fully accomplished in eight centuries cannot possibly be attained in Egypt, Afghanistan, or elsewhere in the Muslim world in 6 weeks, 6 months, or six years, not least because none of those places separate church from state, asserts Scheuer. Dr. Pauls precise use of history and commonsense exposes the exorbitantly costly effort to build democracies in the Islamic world for what it is; namely, Washington throwing money down the drain for a cause that is impossibly lost from the start and one that will involve us in wars where we have no interests.

Revolution PAC is supporting Ron Pauls consistent, constitutional message with targeted TV advertising, direct mail campaigns and innovative Web promotions complemented by billboards and radio ads in key primary states. Unlimited donations by individuals, businesses and organizations are being accepted by Revolution PAC to support that effort.

Posted on by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

ABC News reported yesterday on two innovations that are making schools and workplaces healthier: Instant Recess and the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk. Dr. Antronette Yancey of UCLAs School of Public Health and author of Instant Recess: Building a Fit Nation 10 Minutes at a Time urged employers and educators to allow at least 10 minutes of activity while walking on her TrekDesk Treadmill Desk.

Dr. Yancey cited the importance of movement during the ABC interview. A whole lot of bad things happen when you sit all day, like heart disease, stroke and cancer.

About 40% of the county doesnt even get 10 minutes per week of continuous activity. Really, there’s almost no organ system that regular physical activity can’t improve, stated Dr. Yancey.
