Minority Business Round Table urges Support for Energy Reform Act of 2008
Minority Business Roundtable is urging bipartisan support for a sweeping energy proposal to reduce gas prices, lessen America's dependence on foreign oil, and strengthen the economy. “With GM's second quarter record-breaking loss of $15.5 billion, Chrysler’s failure to renew its $30B short-term debt and Ford's $8.7 billion loss, because of deep decline in US sales and charges for job cuts, plant closings, and the falling value of trucks and SUVs, the big three automakers are really taking a hit; clearly something must be done to aid American businesses," said Roger A. Campos, president & CEO of MBRT. Campos warned that America's automakers, who have been leaders in workforce diversity and developing minority dealers and suppliers, as well as their employees, are at risk.

Black technology entrepreneurs are increasingly providing the horsepower that drives the global economy. Over the last two decades, black entrepreneurs have created more jobs, and contributed much more to the economic expansion of the Black community as a whole, than any black pastor or politician. Black entrepreneurs are taking risks and building businesses that generate economic growth and increase prosperity in underserved areas, as more minority-owned and minority-focused businesses emerge, willing to serve the financial needs of Black entrepreneurs. US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine's annual list of Top Black Technology Entrepreneurs reflects the expanding scope of leading Black entrepreneurs in information technology, homeland security, and defense.
