A petition to -Support Small and Medium Businesses who have paid in good faith for Business Interruption Coverage
The goal of this petition is to compel the government, both state and federal to work in coordination with private insurance companies for the immediate benefit of small and medium sized businesses that are the back bone of America..

At this unprecedented time in American history, there is no better and quicker way to do this than to utilize the existing structure of insurance companies to get funds immediately into the hands of small and medium sized businesses who have paid for business interruption coverage, and whose claims are now being denied as a result of State mandated Covid-19 business closures.

We believe that notwithstanding ANY exception or exclusion contained in the fine print of any insurance policy - The Federal Government in partnership with the insurance companies should immediately accept and handle business interruption insurance claims in the same way that the Federal Government has budgeted and mandated that banks extend paycheck loans and and individual state unemployment offices extend and enhance unemployment benefits to both W-2 employees and now, as never before, to 1099 subcontractors.

I urge everyone to please sign this petition to compel the government as well as our insurance companies to work together for the best interest of small and medium sized businesses to facilitate the immediate payment of business interruption claims. Loans should be the last option, not our first or only option! The very existence of many businesses and jobs are at stake.
