Longtime Houston business owner Karen Amos says she would never support anything so divisive. 

"We are business owners together as a group. There’s no division. I don’t do division. I love all business owners red, purple, green, pink. It doesn’t matter what color you are. If you’re a business owner, you’re on my team and I'm going to support you," says Amos who owns "Karen’s Make Ready Services" cleaning company and Karen’s Kleaner. She says uniting and supporting one another is the key to success.
