Moran, senators ask Obama to plug startups in State of the Union

Donna Abbott Vlahos | The Business Review

Dear President Obama ? don?t forget startups Tuesday night.

That?s the message three senators, including Kansas Republican Jerry Moran and two other Democrats, sent in a letter to Obama, calling on him to plug startups in his State of the Union Address, the Upstart Business Journal reports.

The Upstart Business Journal is an affiliate publication of the Kansas City Business Journal.

?As you prepare to deliver your State of the Union address, we encourage you to speak about the important role entrepreneurs play in economic growth and job creation in your speech,? Moran, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia and Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, wrote in the Friday letter.

The push comes as the senators are trying to reintroduce a bill dubbed Startup 2.0 that would help businesses recruit immigrant employees.

The bill picked up some momentum in 2012 but essentially died in Congress from lack of action.

The White House plans to live-stream the State of the Union, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday.
