Foreign Corporations Buying U.S. Elections

Posted by vjack | 10/09/2010 | | Comments

The more we have learned about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the more concerned we should be. I am glad to see MoveOn.org and other progressive groups rallying to fight this right-wing group.

It appears that the Chamber has been using money from foreign corporations to finance its plan to spend $75 million on political attacks against progressive Democrats this year. Funneling money from foreign interests into American elections is illegal, and the Chamber is trying to buy the election for Republicans.

What can we do about it? I signed a petition urging Attorney General Eric Holder to to initiate an immediate Justice Department investigation to stop the illegal spending. Can you join me at the link below?
