Real Americans, Real Stories
Why We Fight for Nebraska
"When people call, we come out. We provide good paying jobs. Government has a tendency to just kind of get in the way. Just let business and small businesses do what they do best, which is make money and money for their employees. Owning a business gives you freedom and the satisfaction of seeing it grow."
Reggie Bosn
Bosn Service Company | Lincoln, NE
"In America, we have the best opportunity to grow a small business. Business owners know what's best for their business. Often times, the best thing government can do is get out of the way. Red tape and unnecessary regulations slow growth and hold us back."
Rick Bettger
Omaha Car Care | Omaha, NE
"Every day, Citizens for Free Enterprise is working to protect the future of independent business and to ensure that America's free enterprise system is thriving for the next generation. Whether we're pushing to lower taxes or helping educate business owners on how to navigate the regulatory environment, we're here to lend a hand to job creators across Nebraska."
Bud Synhorst
CFFE Nebraska State Director | Lincoln, NE
