TIME TO  RIGHTLY  DEFINE  THE PROBLEM

 

St. James Version of the Bible labels the Illegal Alien.

It states that those who choose to enter the sheepfold other than by the door are “THIEVES  and  ROBBERS”   John 10:1

 

States are up against organizations that defend thieves and robbers, income tax fraud and illegal labor, working to protect these from any/all prosecution while corrupt employers profit

 

LOCAL Chambers of Commerce support local issues, so why fund the State and U.S. Chamber that supports the U N agenda of GLOBALIZATION?

 

U.S. Chamber of Commerce revealed as imposters of job creation

Their tax exempt status should be jerked immediately by IRS. 

They actively work with China to take U.S. jobs by outsourcing

They donate to Congressmen and Legislators to buy support for their Chamber legislation

 

 

Chambers tout their ‘jobs building’ efforts.   Nothing could be further from the truth.  Ask 10 cities in Oklahoma if their city has gotten jobs and business by efforts of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  If none, then keep the local Chamber Dues in your town and employ an economic developer to bring jobs in and begin helping your community.

JUST WHO IS THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE?

 

The U.S. Chamber (USCC) is the largest lobby group on Capitol Hill representing interests of large businesses and trade associations.

The USCC is staffed with policy specialists, lobbyists, lawyers, and is considered to be a conservative organization, funding campaigns for well known Republicans and some Democrats

Local Chambers are independently started and focus on local issues.

Chambers positions include:

·        Supporting corporate globalization/free trade/outsourcing

·        Opposes financial regulations

·        Opposes Disclose Act

·        Opposes healthcare reform and Affordable Health Care for America

·        Opposes action on climate change

·        Supports the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009  TARP

·        Argued a case to the Supreme Court opposing mandatory checks for immigration status by employers

·        Supported corporate personhood and allowing corporations to spend unlimited sums on electioneering via an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court Citizens United v FEC.  It’s position is poised by some advocates for independent businesses

·        Supports raising the $14.4 Trillion Debt Ceiling and more spending  7/2011

 

 

 

Oklahoma calls it “Speaking with Forked Tongue”

The Chamber of Commerce should take U.S. out of their name.  This implies it backs interests of job creation in America and proof emerges that it does not while it works to send jobs overseas on behalf of its corporate members.  Chambers spent $75 million in political ads attacking lawmakers who support creating good jobs in this country and taxing companies that profit

 

 

LESS THAN PATRIOTIC ACTIONS

 

U.S. Chamber and AmCham Teach Outsourcing

The U.S. Chamber sponsored an event that instructed US firms how to outsource jobs to China alongside the “Chinese” branch of the American Chamber of Commerce, AmCham.  Invitation inviting businesses to come to Jacksonville, Florida were on the internet

Http://www.rawstory.com    10-19-2010

http://www.economyincrisis.org/content/report-chamber-commerce-held-seminars-promoteoutsourcing

 

According to the U.S. Chambers webpage it sponsored 16 such events between 2006-2007.  According to Campaign Money Watch, since 1994, 1.4 million jobs were lost due to outsourcing in the nine states the Chambers advertise significantly in.  And you thought jobs just disappeared?

 

In 2010, 55% of the Chamber’s funding came from just 16 corporations, and the legislation it lobbies for was written by the wealthiest corporations and most powerful industries in the United States, and Legislatures comply.

 

 

 

WHAT   ARE   WE   UP  AGAINST?

 

U.S. Chamber spent $10 million on 12 lobbyist for first quarter 2009

ORGANIZATIONS AFFILIATED WITH THE CHAMBERS TO

SECURE MORE BENEFITS

And rewards for ‘robbers and thieves’ called illegal aliens

 

The Chamber and their radical allies advocate open borders and ‘social justice.’  All aggressively lobby Congress and Legislatures to provide illegal immigrants a path to citizenship

           The Mexican Government         U.S./State Chambers of Commerce

ACLU                                                National Council of La Raza

LULAC                                             LaCase

June 8, 2011  (Chamber Press Release)

U.S. Chamber released their report recommending Steps To a 21st Century U.S.Mexico Border.   The Chamber asserts that the $1 Billion worth of goods every day warrants a strong/stable relationship with Mexico even at the expense of loss of state sovereignty.

 

Despite all the ‘dangers’ of doing business in Mexico listed in the report, the Chamber still promotes the controversial cross-border trucking provisions of NAFTA.

 

The Chamber also promotes the Merida Initiative, the agreement through which the U.S. has agreed to ‘support the governments in Mexico, Central America, Dominica Republic, and Haiti in their respective battles with crime.’ Are we conquering CRIME?   (See Merida Initiative Fact Sheet)

 

USCC Report agrees that “illegal immigration is one of the most significant problems facing our border today” yet they call for immigration ‘reform’ to promote security, economic growth, and increase legal immigration to help DECREASE illegal immigration and help ease the related security concerns hurting business.    (Say What?)

 

OFFICIALLY – The U.S. Chamber shouts America has a labor shortage, and no E-Verify laws needed.  Congress knuckled under to them and did not require E-Verify as mandatory for Stimulus money.  You witnessed  ‘robbers and thieves’ building Oklahoma’s roads and bridges for the past two years.  Chambers are Lobbying for more Foreign Workers even in our Recession as they put American labor in the unemployment lines.

 

Chambers were in an uproar because provisions in the Stimulus Bill by Sen Sanders and Sen Grassley said any bank using illegal labor should not receive Stimulus money.    Chambers and American Immigration Lawyers Assoc. were in a tizzy.  They say it would hurt migrant workers, yet companies can hire foreign workers through the H-1B Visa Program if they take responsibility for them.  Current law allows corporations to fire American workers and replace them with foreign workers – all at the influence of the U.S. Chamber.  

With 12 million people officially unemployed,  when will Congress and Legislatures stop listening to the Chambers foolish nonsensical drivel? 

 

 

Major Victory for American Workers

 

Supreme Court upholds 2007 Arizona Immigration enforcement law:            E-Verify, and loss of business license for violators.   This is not just a win for enforcement, but also a setback for amnesty and increased immigration.   E-VERIFY IS LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL, meaning ALL identification goes through the Social Security Database, not just the legal American’s.

 

From hotair,  This administration supported the Chamber and they had Neal Katyal – acting Solicitor General, that represents the federal government before the Supreme Court – to argue this case.   SG argues only those cases most important/prominent.  (Pretty Clear for us)

 

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s office say they are studying how this ruling effects our 2007 legislation HB1804.  Surely it makes enforcement of our laws mandatory without excuse.   Call AG office at 405-521-3921    Let him know Oklahomans expect HB1804 to coincide with the Supreme Court ruling.

·        ASK them to launch their own economic development campaign

·        ASK Legislators and Governor Fallin Why they support an organization obviously anti-American and pro outsourcing.
