It’s time Congress steps up to #SaveRestaurants by passing the RESTAURANTS Act. Share our new ad that is airing on cable news networks in DC and in select markets across the country and take action now at SaveRestaurants.com.

This Sunday, Nicki and I were to celebrate our 23rd Anniversary at LLF’s Chef’s Potluck. Last time they coincided, I had 19 chefs deliver 19 bouquets. This year, Grassroots is sending LLF all of our Win Win Wine… instagram.com/p/B_VLRj8B-Dz/…

Lots of people and communities in this boat!

@LindseyGrahamSC You’ve got that right @LindseyGrahamSC At the same time, we need to suspend the hospitality/wine tariffs from the 301 package. The 15% on Airbus is plenty in this environment and American wine importers should not have to choose between paying tariffs or making payroll. @us_wine

The Boeing 787, made in North Charleston, is a state-of-the-art wide body aircraft that is the main competitor to Europe’s Airbus. I’m confident France and other European nations will not allow Airbus to fail. America must not let Boeing fail.

In the Senate we are working on a package to offer economic assistance to millions of Americans who have been put out of work due to #CoronavirusPandemic.

@LindseyGrahamSC Yes @LindseyGrahamSC we want to take care of our employees ourselves!

Loans, not grants — which will be paid back by the company — should be available to American companies like Boeing so they can survive this global economic downturn.

@A______C______ @SenThomTillis @senatemajldr Save the corporate slush for Phase 4 and save small business today! #WeWillRememberInNovember @senatemajldr

.@senthomtillis We closed our dining rooms for the greater good. Now it’s time for Senate leadership to come together and compromise for the greater good; lead the way on behalf of N.C. citizens. Time is of the essence. #wewillrememberinnovember @senatemajldr #SaveSmallBusinesses

This is a good sign for small business everywhere!

@SCDOR Can you consider allowing for taxes due on Friday March 20 to be included, especially hospitality taxes and sales tax from hospitality and restaurant businesses? This is the hardest hit industry in the state and those tax payments are critical for cash flow.

📰 News release: To assist taxpayers during the COVID-19 outbreak, tax returns and payments due April 1 – June 1 will now be due June 1, 2020. This includes Individual Income Tax returns. Read it here ➡️ dor.sc.gov/communications…

20% unemployment is 32 million out of work. The devastated restaurant industry employ(ed) 15.6 million people last week. Congress needs to lead and develop a immediate relief plan for the f and b industry that makes it whole! @senatemajldr @SenatorDurbin cnn.com/2020/03/17/pol…

How many F and B layoffs happened in the last 7 days? I am guessing 5 million. Think about that. It’s time to get serious about rescuing the most vulnerable industry in this crisis.

@HughAcheson foodandwine.com/fwpro/the-wine… for starters

foodandwine.com/fwpro/the-wine…. Very proud to write and post this. We are all in for a tough go, it is time to suspend the Hospitality Tariffs. They amount to a destructive restaurant tax at the worst possible time.

Help me fight for wine jobs- from servers to importers. 100% tariffs on EU wines will kill your tip-out. gf.me/u/xcm5w2

@repblumenauer You are awesome!

The wine industry is responsible for thousands of jobs in Oregon. These nonsensical tariffs would have a devastating impact on Oregon wine industries, restaurants & small businesses. We cannot punish American industry through irresponsible trade retaliation. I'm fighting back.

@dhmeyer @Change @dhmeyer Thank you! ;)

Simply put, we need restaurant industry’s voices to stop these tariffs. It’s not my problem, it’s OUR problem. @dhmeyer @beard foundation @Chef_Keller @DanielBoulud

When I got home from DC I found my youngest using a stack of these post-Katrina menus for scratch paper. The wine community has always been there for every initiative. Sure, there are wine lobbies, but a grassroots effort is proving most effective.
