Washington, DC: Congress today passed legislation introduced by Congressman Ron Paul honoring the important contributions of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. HCR 277, which passed unanimously in the House of Representatives, recognizes the growing importance of the Hispanic business organization both in Texas and across the nation.

“The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has a significant impact among Hispanic businesses,” Paul’s resolution states. “The Chamber serves a key role both as a business group and civic organization. It has helped to bring entrepreneurship to the Hispanic community, and also helped pool the resources and talents of Hispanic small businesses.”

“The Chamber is important to the promotion of the free market process of the United States, to the future success of Hispanic Americans, and to society at large,” the resolution continues. “Its special role should be recognized and further cultivated to the benefit of all Americans.”

Congressman Paul was pleased by the support for his bill. “Hispanics in America are business owners and entrepreneurs, and their contribution to our free market system is enormous.”
