WHO IS LUPE ROSE?

Lupe L. Rose is a resolute entrepreneur and unstoppable advocate for justice who has endured a relentless and unprecedented battle against systemic corruption and discriminatory practices within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other government entities. As the founder of SHE Beverage Company, a women-owned, minority-led enterprise once valued at $253 million, Ms. Rose experienced firsthand the devastating impact of regulatory overreach that not only destroyed her business but also the livelihoods of thousands of employees, SHE Beverage Company Shareholders, and the broader community she once loved.

Her company was subjected to a flawed forensic investigation by the SEC, which arbitrarily excluded tens of thousands of legitimate financial transactions and dismissed an $80,000 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) audit that verified the company’s financial integrity. The SEC escalated unsubstantiated, unprovable monetary claims, ultimately resulting in a $12 million judgment against Ms. Rose’s business, without permitting her the fundamental right to present critical evidence or a fair hearing. These actions culminated in the dismantling of a thriving enterprise and the erosion of investor and community trust.

Confronted with judicial bias and procedural irregularities, Ms. Rose courageously filed a motion for disqualification of the presiding judge, asserting the denial of her constitutional right to an impartial tribunal. Despite these challenges, she remained steadfast in her pursuit of justice, recognizing that her struggle unveiled a broader systemic failure that jeopardizes the stability and fairness of the American entrepreneurial ecosystem.

In response, Ms. Rose authored the Corporations and Small Business Protection Bill—an urgent legislative initiative designed to safeguard corporations and small businesses from abusive regulatory actions, ensure transparency and accountability within enforcement agencies, and establish clear protections for businesses navigating the complexities of capital formation and public offerings. 

This bill seeks to prevent the recurrence of the injustices she endured by mandating fair investigative practices, financial restitution for wrongful actions, and comprehensive oversight of regulatory bodies.

The Corporations and Small Business Protection Bill embodies Ms. Rose’s unyielding commitment to defend the rights of entrepreneurs, promote equitable treatment under the law, and restore confidence in the regulatory framework that governs our financial markets. Her experience, often described as the “Rape of Wall Street,” illuminates the urgent need for reform to prevent the destruction of legitimate businesses through corrupt or negligent enforcement.

This bill is not merely a legislative proposal; it is a call to action to protect the backbone of the American economy, its corporations and small businesses, from regulatory abuse and to ensure that justice, fairness, and opportunity prevail in the marketplace. Advancing this bill into law will honor Ms. Rose’s fight and safeguard the future of countless entrepreneurs who seek only to innovate, grow, and contribute to our nation’s prosperity.

Lupe L. Rose’s journey is a testament to resilience in the face of adversity and a beacon for systemic change. The Corporations and Small Business Protection Act stands as her legacy—a legal shield for those who dare to dream and build in the face of overwhelming odds.

Lobbying for Justice and Reform: Lupe Rose’s Unyielding Fight for Small Business and Corporate Equity

Lupe L. Rose’s journey as an entrepreneur and advocate has evolved into a powerful mission to reshape the very foundations of our financial regulatory system. Recently approved as a federal lobbyist, Ms. Rose has taken her fight from the courtroom and boardroom to the halls of government, committed to advancing sweeping reforms that aim to protect small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), corporations, and underserved communities from systemic injustice and regulatory abuse.

Her lobbying efforts span a broad and critical spectrum of issues: small business development, defense and sports/athletics advocacy, government affairs, financial institutions and securities, urban and municipal development, veterans’ rights, arts and entertainment, banking and operational choke points, civil rights and liberties, constitutional protections, and economics and economic development. This comprehensive agenda reflects the deep and personal nature of her fight, a fight born from firsthand experience with the corrosive impact of discriminatory enforcement and regulatory overreach.

Why this fight is personal for Lupe Rose, and for countless American businesses, is rooted in the harsh realities faced by entrepreneurs who dare to dream big and seek to go public. For too many, the path to public markets is obstructed by what can only be described as a form of “Wall Street ransom.” Companies are subjected to mafia-like scrutiny, where the ability to pay exorbitant fees or conform to unspoken norms often determines survival rather than merit or legality. Those who cannot meet these demands find themselves crushed beneath overwhelming legal costs, forced to abandon their aspirations and, in many cases, lose everything they have built.

Ms. Rose’s own experience with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exemplifies these injustices. Despite being a minority-led, women-owned enterprise with a once verified $253 million valuation, her company faced aggressive, arbitrary investigations that ignored critical financial evidence and culminated in crippling judgments. The SEC, an agency theoretically charged with protecting investors, instead wielded its authority as a weapon, targeting businesses on the basis of race, financial capacity, and political will. This systemic failure not only threatens individual businesses but also undermines the broader American dream and economic vitality.

The urgency of reform cannot be overstated. The current regulatory environment offers no meaningful protections for small businesses or corporations. The SEC’s practices effectively create a pay-to-play system, where only those who can afford to “buy” fairness are allowed to thrive. This corrupt dynamic is antithetical to the values enshrined in America’s founding principles and stands in stark contrast to the vision of economic opportunity championed by President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) agenda.

Lupe Rose’s lobbying campaign is a clarion call for disruption, a demand that the Securities and Exchange Commission undergo comprehensive reform to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability. The goal is to dismantle the entrenched systems that enable regulatory capture, racial and economic discrimination, and the extortionate “ransom” tactics that choke off innovation and growth. Reform is the backbone of this fight because it is the key to unlocking true economic justice and restoring confidence in the marketplace.

This is not just Lupe Rose’s fight; it is the fight of countless entrepreneurs, small businesses, and corporations across America who have been silenced, marginalized, or destroyed by a regulatory system that prioritizes power over principle. It is a fight to ensure that every business, regardless of size, ownership, or background, has an equal opportunity to contribute to economic prosperity without fear of harassment or ruinous legal battles.

The journey ahead is challenging, but Lupe Rose remains undeterred. Her transition into lobbying marks a new chapter in a relentless pursuit of justice and reform. By amplifying the voices of those too often ignored, advocating for legislative change, and holding regulatory bodies accountable, she is laying the groundwork for a fairer, more inclusive economic future.

This fight must be seen through to the finish line, not only to vindicate the rights of entrepreneurs like Lupe Rose but to safeguard the integrity of America's economic system. Reforming the SEC is not merely a policy objective; it is a moral imperative critical to making America truly great again.

Join Lupe Rose in this vital mission. Together, we can build a regulatory environment that fosters innovation, protects investors, and champions the dreams of every American business owner

The purpose of the "Corporation and Small Business Protection Bill" is to ensure the safety and well-being of corporations and small businesses engaged in fundraising, going public, or aspiring to go public. 

On September 8th 2011, President Obama initiated the American Jobs Act for many reasons, however, Corporations and Small Businesses are still experiencing unjust attacks on the Corporations and Small Businesses attempting to go public by The Securities and Exchange Commission challenging the implementation of The American Jobs Act. 

This Corporations and Small Business Protections Bill begins with advancing the protections in the American Jobs Act: “The President’s plan includes administrative, regulatory, and legislative measures – including those developed and recommended by the President’s Jobs Council – to help small firms start and expand. This includes changing the way the government does business with small firms. The Administration will soon announce a plan to accelerate government payments to small contractors to help put money in their hands faster. The President is also charging his CIO and CTO to, within 90 days, stand up a one-stop, online portal for small businesses to easily access government services. 

As part of the President’s Startup America initiative, the Administration will work with the SEC to conduct a comprehensive review of securities regulations from the perspective of these small companies to reduce the regulatory burdens on small business capital formation in ways that are consistent with investor protection, including expanding “crowdfunding” opportunities and increasing mini-offerings. Finally, the President’s plan calls for Congress to pass comprehensive patent reform, increase guarantees for bonds to help small businesses compete for infrastructure projects and remove burdensome withholding requirements that keep capital out of the hands of job creators.”

The bill aims to safeguard entities with investors other than public shell companies, promote fairness in transactions, disclose relevant market information, and prevent the dissemination of false information or false accusations. It also seeks to combat investor fraud, extortion, unfounded narratives, and the making of public statements about crimes that have not been committed or proven by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other Government Agencies. 

Additionally, the bill aims to shield companies from false whistleblowers, enemies, and hate crimes, while providing necessary resources from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through the funding of existing SEC initiatives, paid for by the funds also raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

The bill has been presented to Congress for the purpose of overseeing the SEC, securities exchanges, securities brokers and dealers, investment advisors, and mutual funds. Its objective is to promote fair dealing, disclosure of important market information, and the prevention of fraud and hate crimes originating within the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, and the FBI.
