The SEC is dragging its feet on your investment opportunities
Dear friend,
For over 20 years, The Association for Investor Awareness has been a champion for the rights of individual investors just like you… and our latest effort could directly affect your investment opportunities and the fate of many small business entrepreneurs.
Since the JOBS Act (Jump Start Our Business Startups Act) was signed into law in April 2012, the SEC has not followed very explicit instructions from Congress.
In a rare bipartisan effort, the House, Senate and the President all agreed the JOBS Act was an opportunity to unleash the power of 21st Century communications methods and systems into the capital-raising process and to make it less burdensome for smaller companies to raise capital.
However, for almost three years the SEC has been dragging its feet on two very important sets of rules in the JOBS Act… one is to allow all interested investors the opportunity to invest in companies through a Crowdfunding Platform and the second is to simply the process for small companies to execute an IPO.
We are asking a select group (including you) for your input and assistance.
We’re conducting a short survey (I promise it will take less than three minutes) in an effort to better understand the interests of individual investors and to solicit your help in encouraging Congress and the SEC to finish the work they started almost three years ago.
As our way of saying “Thank You” for your time, you will be entered to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

Thank you for supporting individual investors’ rights and America’s entrepreneurs.
Sincerely,
John M. Casson
