I'm Jeffrey Hazlett, host of All Business with Jeffrey Hazlett on C-Suite Radio and C-Suite TV, and I would like 250 seconds of your time. This year marks a historic milestone, the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation and the freedoms that have made America the greatest economic engine in the world.

Whether you're from a red state or a blue state, this isn't a political issue. It's a patriotic one. It's an opportunity for all of us to come together as one red, white, and blue nation to celebrate the freedoms that have made entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic opportunity possible.

Some people point to our democracy as America's greatest gift. Others point to our military, and while we're grateful every day for the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country, America's greatest competitive advantage is our free enterprise system. It's what allows individuals with an idea, a dream, and the courage to build businesses, to create jobs, strengthen communities, and of course, shape the future.

That's why we're asking business leaders across America to join the Freedom 250 movement by sharing their voice of freedom. Tell us what it means to own, build, lead, or grow a business in the United States. Tell us why you're proud to do business here. Tell us what freedom means to you, to your employees, to your customers, and of course, your community.

On this site, you'll find everything you need to participate, including toolkits, guidelines, and resources to help you create and share your message. We're asking for two simple things.

One, record a short video and share it widely. Share it with your employees, your customers, your partners, your vendors, and your community online and socially. Let them know why you believe America remains the greatest place in the world to start and build and grow a business. All you need to do is click on the link below, follow the instructions, and you'll have the opportunity to utilize an easy-to-use video platform. Use it or record it yourself. But remember, when you're sharing your video, to hashtag it Voices of 250 so we can help amplify your video and those of others.

Second, we'll be coming back to you with a survey to share your vision for the next 250 years in America. What opportunities lie ahead for business? What role should business play in shaping the future? And how can we ensure that future generations continue to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that have made this country exceptional?

Join us. Add your voice. Celebrate freedom. Celebrate enterprise. Celebrate America. Remember, freedom, just like most things in life, isn't free. Thank you.
