While many conservatives celebrate the abrupt resignation of Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), business groups backed by mega corporations are finalizing plans to neuter conservative lawmakers in 2016. The U.S. Chamber will take the lead, planning to spend $100 million in 2016, a large portion of which will be devoted to defeat conservatives in Republican primaries. Roll Call reports that “some of business’ top targets in 2016 will be right-wing, tea party candidates, the types that have bucked the corporate agenda in Congress.” The $100 million the Chamber plans to spend this cycle is close to triple the amount the group spent in 2012, when President Obama was running for reelection. In 2014, when the Chamber launched its effort to attack conservatives in primaries, the group spent close to $70 million. The evolution of the Chamber’s political spending goes a long way to explain the current dysfunction in Washington. The organization will devote $170 million to combat conservatives in primaries and support establishment Republicans in the general, but only around $30 million when Obama is running for reelection. At the time business groups announced their heavy involvement in Republican primaries, Scott Reed, the Chamber’s top political consultant said, “the need is now more than ever to elect people who understand the free market and not silliness.” The top legislative priorities for the U.S. Chamber, and many business groups, are reinstatement of the Export-Import Bank, an immigration overhaul that greatly expands the number of both legal workers and foreign work visas, and an overhaul of the corporate income tax.

the chamber will never get another dime of my money.
If your business has a “Chamber of Commerce” sticker on the window, I am not walking in.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce is not a governmental agency, but a big business funded lobbying group. They hate conservatives because their donors with the help of the government have their fangs deeply buried in the necks of the taxpayers. Conservative want to end the flow of money from our pockets to entities like Archer Daniels Midlands.
See tagline.
It will take some money, of course; but probably a $12,000,000 counter campaign would suffice to neuter the 100 million.
Probably get ‘er done with a few thousand bucks on YouTube. LOL
The end is closer than you think.
What’s happening right now in Syria with Russia already there could actually be the spark that begins the Tribulation.
Obama is proof that the Lord turned us over to our sins & a reprobate mind.

[[If Conservatives respond to this in the right way, it should backfire.]]
In other words, it’s not going to back fire-

I saw some astounding polling the other day that Conservative voters have done a 180 and now have joined Libs in strongly opposing the Citizens United decision.
Guess now I can see why.
” People have turned to money and self interest instead of God. “
Establishment Republicans, and newly-minted, left wing tech billionaires in particular.
they are still having a temper tantrum over the Export-Import Bank.
In other words, eating at the federal trough and gutting the American middle class.
FUCC.

The corporate whores are at war with small business.
People, we are in a take-no-prisoners war.
The Chamber of Commerce has more money, we have more votes.
It is up to each one of us to bring conservatives to the polls in 2016.
If we do not work hard, the evil forces will win.
