It includes hundreds of associations, thousands of local chambers, and more than 100 American Chambers of Commerce in 91 countries. They are the voice of business on Capitol Hill.

Each year the US Chamber recognizes members of Congress who support our pro business legislative agenda with the Spirit of Enterprise Award. This award embodies the belief that the American free enterprise system and free markets are the key to a prosperous nation. In 2009, Congressman Pete Olson was one of those outstanding members! On crucial votes for Small Business Tax Relief, Trade, Energy, Education and taking care of our veterans Congressman Olson was there for Texas!
