The ASBL is currently suing the SBA to force the disclosure of the name of a major federal contractor that was recommended for debarment by the SBA Inspector General for felony contracting fraud.
Chapman stated, "SBA Administrator Steven Preston is wasting his time and taxpayer money if he thinks this is going to intimidate me to stop our campaign in the media and the courts to prove the Bush Administration has cheated legitimate American small businesses out of billions in federal small business contracts.
"The SBA's own Inspector General has found firms that are guilty of blatant felony contracting fraud and instead of going after those firms they are harassing me with this ridiculous threat. I hope they do sue me so the public can see the SBA is more concerned with covering up fraud and abuse than they are in trying to stop it."
