U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-- THE WORST GREED WHORES IN THE BUSH COALITION-- TARGET CONGRESSMEN FROM BOTH PARTIES WHO BACK WORKERS

>


Obviously most members of Congress who back Labor are Democrats. But the Chamber of Commerce is striking out viciously against members of both parties who they feel may vote for the union-backed Employee Free Choice Act. The bill would require employers to recognize organizing efforts in their workplace if a majority of workers sign cards in support of forming a union. Unions have made it clear that the legislation is needed because the current organizing process takes many years and is unfairly weighted, courtesy of Republican recipients of Big Business bribes, in favor of employers.

The Chamber is buying propaganda ads in 51 congressional districts. Their chief lobbyist, Bill Miller, widely considered one of the most sleazy and odious characters in Washington (almost a Cheney-like monster, and nearly as hated), growled in an interview that "We're making people feel pain. You cannot cross the Chamber and support big labor at any cost. The price is having thousands of dollars of radio run in your district." The fascistic Chamber is running their vicious and completely misleading ads against 29 Democrats and 22 Republicans.


The bill, which has over 230 co-sponsors in the House is a shoe-in but the Chamber is gearing up for a fight to the death in the Senate where it is expected reactionaries from both parties may be able to kill it. Miller warns that the Chamber's campaign when the bill reaches the Senate will "be even bigger and nastier." Among the congressmen targeted by the Chamber are Jerry McNerney (CA), Carol Shea-Porter (NH) as well as more conservative Democrats like Nancy Boyda (KS), Nick Lampson (TX), and Tim Mahoney (FL), and Republicans in moderate districts like Charles Dents (PA), Randy Kuhl (NY), and Tim Walberg (MI). The Chamber and the National Association of Manufacturers, another far right lobbyist organization, are threatening to campaign against any members who vote for the bill in '08.

With Republicans struggling to unite their far, far right-wing extremist faction with their plain right-wing faction, the Chambers' nasty attack is very bad news indeed. But any help we can get on Kuhl and Walberg, two congressmen unlikely to survive 2008, will be much-appreciated.

Funny you should mention the US Chamber of Commerce.They are now aiding and abetting a massive penny stock fraud of international proportions although all the worthless shares being 'pumped and dumped' around the world through boiler rooms and even banks such as Bawag of Austria and I suspect Leumi of Israel both now owned by Kellogg Brown and Root boys,Dan Quayle,ex Treasury Secretary John Snow,Stephen Feinberg,et.al. connected Cerberus hedge fund.

The scam pretends to be concerned about 'naked short selling' but is really profiting from dumping worthless penny stock shares on suckers such as myself and blaming it on 'naked shorting' brokers like Schwab or vFinance or the now failed Refco.In truth Tim Mahoney's vFinance,Charles Schwab
and other scammy brokers or market makers provide accounts for the dumping and pretend they don't know what is going on.

Do a google search 'ryals naked shorting' or 'naked short selling' or something like that or 'ryals senator bob bennett',etc.

The scam 'thesanitycheck' website whose link is below is funded by Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com.I have reason to believe a James Dale Davidson of Steve Forbes connected National Taxpayers Union is behind it as well.SEC Chair Chris 'WMDs' Cox does nothing but aid and abet as well as Securities Exchange Commission's cyber watch dog John Reed Stark.

I could go on and on but you can google 'tim mahoney ryals' to find more on him and penny stock fraud particularly the Stanford Univerity penny stock scam
'Endovasc' that suckered me.

Below is a link and direct quote from the scam site thesanitycheck
praising the US Chamber of Commerce for aiding their supposed
'anti-naked short selling' scam.One
can only presume some Chamber of Commerce people should be investigated to see if they are insiders in any of the U.S. penny stocks fraudulently claiming their worthless shares have been 'naked shorted'.

Sincerely

Tony Ryals

US Chamber of Commerce Requests Hearings Into Manipulative and Fraudulent Short Selling

UPDATE: The NFI debacle has been in the news, and so has the Easter Bunny - Apparently the press doesn't understand that I haven't had an active role in the NFI-Info website for a year and a half, after I publicly handed it over to independent webmasters so I could focus on this site and NCANS. Why they missed this tidbit is unknown, as it isn't exactly a secret. It was the topic of discussion on the same boards they apparently follow so diligently. I even put out a call to recruit people to take it over.

More mystifying is why the NY Times today invented a quote and attributed it to me.

Invented it. As in made it up.

Here's the quote, attributed to me, which was supposedly posted on InvestorVillage.com shortly after I learned about the company's shocking earnings release and forward looking statements, which blindsided not just me, but all the analysts following the company for a living:

""Yesterday, in what he described as "probably my last writing here," the investor had this to say on the site: "I am shell shocked after the conference that took place yesterday, and quite annoyed that I participated in the collective hallucination that led so many into such a disaster."

I said no such thing. They invented the last half. What I said is easily viewable in message number 42065.

Perhaps they are taking a quote the independent webmaster of NFI-Info posted? Dunno. But I do know it wasn't me, which they could have easily verified by doing something like, oh, I don't know, emailing me to see if it was me?

Not surprising, but sort of funny in that it speaks volumes about the integrity of the NY financial press.

----------------------

Every day, I ask myself, how bad does the FTD crisis have to get before Congress does its job and holds hearings, and appoints a special prosecutor to look into Wall Street's abuse of investors?

Apparently. Specter and Grassley finding that the SEC is either corrupt or incompetent isn't enough to do the trick.

Public outrage isn't enough.

Companies refusing to list on the US exchanges isn't enough.

Retirees losing their life savings isn't enough.

So, the question is, will a letter from the US Chamber of Commerce making a public and formal demand of Congress to act do the trick?

I guess we shall find out, but it does raise the question, what specifically is big enough to get Wall Street looked at by our lawmakers in anything but a fawning and superficial way?

You can read the short and sweet letter here......
