Congresswoman Ellmers said: "In all of my years in business I can honestly say that I have never seen an Administration so prepared to regulate nearly every ailment, either real or perceived."

"My message today is simple - we must remove burdensome regulations so that businesses can grow and entrepreneurs can start new businesses to get people back to work," Ellmers concluded.
