Around 2010, a white van parked near Lloyd’s office, day after day, disturbing the staff, feeling he may have been a peeping Tom. So, they got the...

ASBL 36 Lloyd Chapman Reveals a Big Pentagon Con

In 1989, Lloyd Chapman began beating the Pentagon in court, exposing how it gives small business contracts to big businesses.

In retaliation, the Pentagon launched the Comprehensive Subcontracting Plan Test Program, which hides its continuing malfeasance in the awarding of small business contracts.

Lloyd describes all that and more in this fascinating conversation. For instance,

The 1953 Small Business Act, which created the Small Business Administration (SBA), is the largest economic stimulus plan ever passed by Congress. It has been essentially repealed, in Lloyd’s op...

Lloyd Chapman, president and founder of the American Small Business League, describes the genesis of our www.dontcheatwomen.com project, which aims to raise the amount of federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses from 5% to 15%.

It’s not charity. Women own 40% of all businesses. They sell what the government buys. But companies owned by men get at least 95% of federal contracts.

Without economic fairness, women can’t be political equals. Men hold more political offices and have more politica...

We believe President Trump is going to close the SBA.

We want to save the SBA and stop big firms from getting federal contracts that are supposed to go to small businesses, which are 99.9% of all American businesses.

They are supposed to get 23% of federal contracts.

The federal government, especially the Republican Party, is anti-small business, anti-jobs. HR 10216 was introduced to the House on November 21, 2024, “to end preferences for disadvantaged individuals and businesses in Government contracts, and for other purposes.” The reason: to end racism, it says.

Under Reagan, the definition of a small business changed from up to 100 employees to up to 500. But the average company has 10 employees, and 87% of American business have less than 20 empl...

Lloyd started getting censored about 35 years ago when he won his first big case against the federal government in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. It forced the Pentagon to release documents that showed they had been lying to Congress about the volume of contracts going to small businesses.
