Small Biz State Of The Union & Campaigns

Author

Thursday, January 26, 2012

Posted by Kristin Oberlander -Politicians are running for office all over America, that much is certain. It's a somewhat quiet week for the Republican candidates for president, since the Flordia primary isn't until next Tuesday, January 31st. The talk this week has been surrounding President Obama's State of the Union address. The NASE weighed in the night of with a response from President and CEO Kristie L. Arlsan and also the next day in a statementby Katie Vlietstra, our Director of Government Affairs.

We also noticed one small-business owner that is pressing Republican candidates on their self-employed knowledge. He has several YouTube videos asking them what they will do in regards to the inequitable Self-Employment Tax, an issue near and dear to the folks here at the NASE.

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers



Kristin Oberlander - In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way stops.

Katie Vlietstra - As Director of Government Affairs, I work to explain how actions on Capitol Hill can impact the self-employed. I love D.C. and have made my home in Capitol Hill, where I live with my fiancé and black Labrador, Coltrane. We love playing volleyball and softball on the National Mall.

From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.
