"Today I stopped by Overstreet’s Jewelry and Bedford Camera and Video to join Americans across the country in supporting their Main Street businesses on Small Business Saturday,” Womack said. “Businesses like Overstreet’s and Bedford’s are vital to our communities and economy but are forced to compete on an uneven playing field with online-only retailers. It's time the government stopped picking marketplace winners and losers and pass the Marketplace Equity Act which provides a common-sense solution to this problem." “Ninety-seven percent of Arkansas employers are small businesses. These firms are the foundation on which our state's economy is built,” Smith said. “I want to thank Congressman Womack for supporting Small Business Saturday and encouraging all Arkansans to shop small." |
