United Small Business of California
 United
Small Business of California was founded on the
proposition that each and every small business,
and small business owner, deserves to be heard
in Sacramento. California business people can
no longer afford to immerse themselves in their
day-to-day operations and ignore the triple threats
of excessive taxation, over–regulation, and
lawsuit abuse. From that vision has sprung United
Small Business. The USB concept is that small
business owners throughout our state will have
a significant influence on business-related legislative
issues if they stay informed and act collectively
under USB’s respected banner.
United Small Business of California
was the brainchild of Malcolm Lunn, Chairman of
the Board. Mr. Lunn spent thirty years with the
United States Chamber of Commerce, from which
he retired as the all-time revenue producer in
the Chamber’s history. Mr. Lunn is responsible
for the briefings that are sent to members and
affiliates 10-12 times per year.
Members of United Small Business
of California include individual small businesses
from throughout California, including industrial,
service, wholesale and distributors. Our goal
is to bring the voice of the small business community
to the legislators in Sacramento making and voting
on the legislation which impacts our community.
Our philosophy is that while one voice crying
out for less tax and a sensible regulatory environment
will not be the impetus that sparks significant
change in that regard, thousands of voices will.
The key to effective action is through a communication
network of our membership base speaking as
a collective voice to their legislature and other
officials. It is these legislators and officials
that require business to implement (and pay
for), their laws, mandates, and policies.
As these demands on business have increased, our
state’s business climate has deteriorated.
It is time for small business to use every means
at hand to get the point across. Small business
in California deserves better than it is getting
Join the Fight!
We are supported entirely with
the contributions of small businesses throughout
the state. Members receive updates 10-12 times
a year via fax or e-mail regarding pertinent legislative
issues and/or bills. These updates are forwarded
on to the legislators themselves on behalf of
our entire membership. Members may also receive
phone calls throughout the year regarding particular
issues, special projects, or pieces of urgent
legislation that require their immediate attention.
Our members may contact us at any time on any
legislation they have questions about. Member
surveys are conducted to determine their utmost
concerns. We hope you will take part in our mission,
realizing that the voice you raise today in Sacramento
may save your California small business from extinction
tomorrow! Remember, as Justice Powell stated “the
time has come, indeed, it is long overdue- for
the wisdom, ingenuity, and resources of American
business to be marshaled against those who would
destroy it”.
Take
action today!
