SALLISAW,
OKLAHOMA WITHDRAWS
MEMBERSHIP FROM THE STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
U. S. Chamber of Commerce is the #1 lobby group
behind companies outsourcing jobs or relocating
manufacturing to foreign countries
Chambers of
Commerce revealed as imposters of job creation. Their tax exempt status should be jerked
immediately by IRS.
Small towns and cities all over
America are led to believe the State and U.S. Chambers of
Commerce are working to bring jobs into their state or city. Most have never received one job brought
to them by the Chambers of Commerce, yet these small towns continue to fund the
organizations with membership dues to support their anti-American labor
position.
WHY?
A
Chamber in a small town, Sallisaw, Oklahoma officially rejected renewal of their State Chamber
Membership.
The District elected two pro-business Legislators in
2010, one to the House, one to the Senate, who believe in small business for
rural Oklahoma and business for THEIR counties, has withdrawn their
membership from the State Chamber.
On June 10, 2011, local officials and pro-business leaders celebrated
the opening of Citi Trends Distribution employing 90 people in a mini-small town
called Roland.
Your town can do the same. Reject the State Chamber of Commerce as
your Economic Development source.
Put the membership funding into your own town. Do not expect an anti-American labor
entity like the U.S. or State Chamber of Commerce to bring jobs for your
unemployed. They are busy
unionizing the WORLD and wrecking American labor. Hear their own
words.

Fact Check: NRCC Executive Director Unaware U.S. Chamber

FACT CHECK: NRCC Executive Director Unaware U.S. Chamber President
Tom Donahue Supports the Outsourcing of American Jobs
At the National Journal Midterm Cram Session,
NRCC Executive Director Guy Harrison made it clear he was unaware that U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donahue has repeatedly promoted the
outsourcing of American jobs. Donahue has even said “there are legitimate
values in outsourcing” and has vowed to fight any attempts to reduce
outsourcing.
FACT: U.S. Chamber President Donahue Said, "There Are
Legitimate Values in Outsourcing."
In 2004, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue said, "there are
legitimate values in outsourcing -- not only jobs, but work…." [CNN, 2/10/04]
FACT: U.S. Chamber President Donahue Defended Outsourcing of
U.S. Jobs, Arguing That Americans Are "Short of
Skills." Defending outsourcing in
2004, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue said, "The big fundamental
issue that we need to understand is we are short of skills in this
country." [CNNFN, 5/3/04]
FACT: Donohue Tells Unemployed to “Stop
Whining”. “Donohue
acknowledged the pain for people who have lost jobs to offshoring - an estimated
250,000 a year, according to government estimates. But pockets of unemployment
shouldn't lead to "anecdotal politics and policies," he said, and people
affected by offshoring should "stop whining." [Associated Press,
7/5/2004]
FACT: Donohue Vowed to Fight Any Attempts to Reduce
Outsourcing. "The chamber's
message is clear: The US must be able to source around the world to stay
competitive in the global economy and the business community will fight
any attempts by our government to restrict outsourcing," Thomas Donohue, the
chamber's president, told a news conference.” [Agence
France Presse, 4/14/2004]

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO
Thomas Donohue is promoting overseas outsourcing of jobs as a way to boost the
economy and even increase employment--a stance that rankles jobless white-collar
workers in the flagging technology industry.
Donohue, speaking to the Commonwealth Club of CA, said
he believes exporting high-paid tech jobs to low-cost countries such as
India, China, and Russia saves companies’ money that they may use to create new
jobs for Americans.
How has outsourcing jobs helped the

ThinkProgress details how "the
U.S. Chamber of
Commerce actually works to send jobs overseas on behalf of its corporate
members, which include some of Asia’s top
offshoring companies."
The
Chamber’s anti-American jobs agenda serves
not only the profit-seeking corporate executives in the U.S., but also works to send jobs overseas to the following outsourcing companies, who are some of
the dozens of foreign corporations that pay member dues to the
Chamber of Commerce’s 501c(6) account, which is used to fund its political
ads:
– KPIT Cummins,
Pune,
India (at least $7,500 in annual member dues): “Strategic global
networking, together with industry-proven practices & processes, give KPIT
Cummins a cutting edge in the realm of
outsourcing.”
– Patni Americas,
Mumbai,
India ($15,000): “Patni, the world leader in IT
outsourcing and business process outsourcing provides offshore
software development, global sourcing, custom software development, and a vast
array of product engineering and IT services to companies
worldwide.”
– NIIT Technologies,
Delhi,
India ($15,000): “[L]eadership in the area of
outsourcing.”
– QuEST
Global, Singapore ($7,500): “QuEST is a leader in the engineering services outsourcing
(ESO) space.”
– Rolta,
Mumbai,
India ($7,500): “Rolta’s global footprint and track record along
with its capable off-shoring model gives it a unique
positioning in this large market.”
– SKP Crossborder Consulting, Mumbai,
India ($7,500): “SKP’s core outsourcing practice is managed out
of a fully equipped, spacious premises based in Pune with access to facilities
in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi and Bangalore.”
– Wipro,
Bangalore,
India ($15,000): “India’s biggest destination for U.S.
offshoring.”
They're
using money, some of it from foreign sources, to buy a new Congress that will
pass legislation that's making it even easier and more profitable for companies
to send jobs overseas.
