Stop The Foreign Takeover Of America

[BettorsChat]

Bob Fertik October 06, 2010

In January 2010, five Republicans on the Supreme Court gave foreign corporations a Constitutional right to buy Congress and our next President.

If foreign corporations want to buy our elections publicly, they can simply create U.S. subsidiaries. If they want to buy our elections secretly, they can launder their money through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which aggressively raises foreign money, or through Karl Rove's secretive American Crossroads GPS, both of which are spending millions in this year's elections.

That means foreign leaders like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Hu Jintao of China, and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia can use their enormous wealth to steal millions of American jobs, keep us dependent on foreign oil and even make us fight their wars.

The Supreme Court put America's national security in danger. They were absolutely wrong and their ruling (Citizens United v. FEC) must be overturned.

Urge your Representatives to co-sponsor the DISCLOSE Act to require full disclosure of all corporate campaign spending and ban foreign corporate spending.

Urge your Representatives to co-sponsor the Shareholder Protection Act to require public shareholder approval of all corporate campaign spending.

And urge your Representatives to co-sponsor a Constitutional Amendment to keep all corporate money out of American politics.

Worst part is. Libs complain about companies shifting jobs overseas and guess who exports more US jobs than any other company????

Dimebry, I totally agree with you regarding GE. They are an example of what's wrong with the tax code. I'm tired of us in the middle class picking up the tab for corps too greedy to pay their fair share. In regards to shipping jobs overseas, one of the biggest reasons is that they can pay people in third world countries pennies on the dollar to work factory jobs. Another reason is that a lot of Americans in some of the upper tier jobs like engineers are not as smart as a lot of people overseas. Every year there are more and more Americans majoring in the following: business, public relations, advertising, and marketing. Most of the forigners that are sent overn here for college major in engineering, healthcare jobs, and degrees that focus more on being a specified professional. You won't see many foreigners majoring in PR, marketing, or advertising. I'm not trying to knock those degrees because we need people to fill those positions but we have more Americans every year straying away from degrees to put an emphasis on math and science.
