US Chamber Targeting House GOP Opposed to Its Agenda
Friday, July 24, 2015 11:47 AM
By: Melissa Clyne
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is preparing for "hand-to-hand political combat" to unseat conservative House Republicans who are getting in the way of the organization’s agenda, Politico reports.
After shelling out $70 million in the 2014 election cycle, the Chamber is irked by "a clutch" of politicians on the right who have presented a stumbling block to its legislative priorities such as immigration reform, a long-term highway bill, and the renewal of the Export-Import Bank, according to Politico.
Though a handful of GOP sources on K Street and Capitol Hill told Politico that several races are under consideration, no decisions have been finalized.
Chamber spokeswoman Blair Holmes maintains that the organization favors pro-business candidates regardless of their political party or status as an incumbent or a challenger, though Politico notes that, historically, the Chamber has largely stayed away from targeting sitting lawmakers.
Holmes told the news website that the organization had great success in the 2014 primaries — 14 of the 15 candidates it backed won — and it intends to follow the same script this time around.
In December, Breitbart News reported that on the heels of Republicans’ sweeping victory in 2014, the Chamber began "threatening" to challenge Republicans who did not promote its agenda.
Steve Caldeira, a member of the Chamber’s public affairs committee and the president and CEO of the International Franchise Association, defended the Chamber’s strategy.
"The fact that there are still members of the Republican House that are obstructionist, isolationists that would be willing to shut down the government down only reinforces that the Chamber and the business community, for that matter, will double down on this winning formula," he told Politico.
"I believe they are going to continue to be involved early in candidate recruitment to find candidates that have the willingness to run, the courage to govern once they get to D.C. and hopefully work in a bipartisan manner to get things done."

Alfred P. Sloan, who may have been CEO of General Motors at the time, said, "The business of business is business."
If we want a government which is willing to protect the interests of the American people, we'll have to pay close attention to the candidates, and be willing to vote for a candidate, not for a party.

Having the majority party of Congress and the White House is now a game for the Titans. First, must know many people who control many riches but for influence will be generous. The candidate to gain those persons support must be willing to direct the country as the largest contributors suggest. That means all candidates are after the same people, who all have the same ideas. If we want to be rid of that, in the presidential so far, we have Trump. How much he will yield to the voters is still unknown.
The only thing I feel confident about is not voting democrat or republican, that for many years was my insanity. I have recovered!

The US Chamber of Commerce has become an orgy of subversive deviants. It is subverting our law, threatening our national sovereignty, destroyed our manufacturing base, caused massive growth in permanent unemployment, underemployment and poverty, and grown our national debt to unprecedented levels in an economy that has no hope or means of ever repaying it.
Most American Businesses join the local chamber to become involved in their community, meet with other business people, network to promote their goods and services and express concerns to local government about policies that are bad for business.
Most wouldn't see their membership as a direct cause of the 20/20 vision of the US Chamber of commerce, which is 20 million unemployed and $20 trillion in national debt so a handful of corporate members can make a buck or two.
Most businesses who belong to the US Chamber of Commerce are members because they wanted to make friends, not destroy our nation.
It's time for business owners to wake the hell up and realize that their membership in the US Chamber of Commerce network is doing just that, and they need to find another way to meet people, make friends and control local government.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan

Trump should make Tom Donahue his next target. Donahue is President of the US Chamber of Commerce, he supports illegal immigration, amnesty for illegal aliens, free trade treason, easing EPA regulations on polluting industries, legal restrictions on American's rights to damages in damage lawsuits. He's against minimum wage increases and virtually any program that helps American Workers to have jobs with sustainable wages and benefits.
It's time to expose him and shut him down.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan
