[ applause ] >> thank you, and good morning. i'm really excited to be here today. and as brian mentioned, my real job is owning a small business. i have 38 employees. and we are in the very high-tech precision machining. we do a lot of things in aerospace, defense, and have made some great connections through the sba and with nasa. so we make a lot of tiny components, metals and plastics. so that's my real job i do every day, but i'm really excited to serve on the president's council for jobs and competitiveness and be a voice for small business. and i really truly believe that the president and all of the staff have really listened to a lot of our recommendations and made a lot of the changes, as administrator mills alluded to earlier in the small business jobs act, and many other areas suc

thoughts, darlene, on that? starting off and how to kind of launch forward maybe with and without all the capital? >> i obviously didn't have the capital when i first started -- or went into business. i wanted it to buy 45% of it, and i went to the bank. a bank president that i had met once and said, i desperately need money. how can i get an sba loan? really as, again, administrative mentioned, having a mentor and friend, and he became that and actually helped me get that first sba loan, walked me through the whole process and helped me with my business plan. it if it weren't for that loan and for him, he wouldn't be here today. then in 2008 when we decided to double or space again, and we started from the very small 8,000 square foot and we're about 34,000 square feet. the sba came forth, and i was able it to get another business loan. reaching out, finding that mentor and that friend and then utilizing the services that are out there and asking a lot of questions is really key. >> anything to share with that?

host: darlene nipper. guest: i think shirley has some points that are of interest to me because i do believe that the church has the opportunity to continue to teach its -- this is not about that and i do believe that marriage, marriage itself, not civil unions, not domestic partnerships although those are steps in the right direction and we all appreciate those are important, but marriage is about leveling the playing field. it's really about us all being us having the ability to live the full life. people don't understand that there are more than a thousand rights and benefits and responsibilities that come along with marriage that people don't quite understand. so they get stuck on these notions of general concept of civil union because it's just not marriage. the reality is that these benefits are critically important. this is an important institution in our society and why shouldn't any person in our society who is law-abiding and a full participant have the opportunity to marry like anyone else? host
