have long been vital to the economic    
health and growth of the ,united        
,states2 ,whereas the willingness of    
entrepreneurs to assume risk has        
resulted in unparalleled contributions  
to the growth and development of the

entrepreneurship is the stimulus for    
strengthening the economy1 advancing

,states since ,world ,war ,,ii2 ,whereas

including nonprofit entrepreneurial     
incubators1 angel investors1 venture    
capitalists1 crowd-funding initiatives1 
and other early-stage investors1        
catalyze entrepreneurial ventures2      
,whereas the ,federal ,government must  
continue to promote entrepreneurship in 
all communities by ensuring that        
entrepreneurs find the necessary        
resources to pursue their ideas2

maintain the position of the ,united    
,states as a world economic leader1     
government1 entrepreneurs1 institutions 
of higher education1 and businesses of  
all sizes must be united in a           
comprehensive effort to welcome and     
cultivate entrepreneurial activities in 
the ,united ,states2 ,whereas           
entrepreneurs face significant barriers 
that the ,federal ,government must work 
to reduce so that all entrepreneurs in

success2 ,whereas entrepreneurship is   
the best offense for economic progress  
and the finest defense against the      
status quo for the ,united ,states2 and 
,whereas the third ,tuesday of ,november
 would be an appropriate date to
