U.S. Chamber of Commerce Not Backing Republican Roy Moore in Alabama Senate Race
Big Government ^ | 10/16/17 | Jeff Poor

According to a report from AL.com’s John Sharp, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will not be supporting Alabama U.S. Senate special election Republican nominee Roy Moore in his bid to fill the seat formerly held by Jeff Sessions.

“We have a process for non-incumbent races and plan to follow it in Alabama,” Scott Reed, the senior political strategist with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in an email to Sharp. “A candidates’ stated priorities and positions on economic issues have great weight with the U.S.C.C. and the Alabama business community.”

The Chamber had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Republican primary for Moore’s opponent Luther Strange and had a billboard advertising campaign promoting President Donald Trump’s support of Strange in the lead-up to last month’s GOP primary runoff.

The group also has urged Congress and Trump in recent months to “quickly” pass an immigration plan that would reportedly not only allow 800,000 illegal aliens to obtain a pathway to U.S. citizenship but could also trigger a wave of chain migration.

The Chamber is as trustworthy as is Hillary Clinton and Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy.

There are two business related organizations which I have come to distrust almost completely.

One is the Better Business Bureau and the other of course is the Chamber of Commerce.

You can add the Southern “Poverty” “Law” Center. They are not about “poverty” nor about “law.”

"So the Chamber of Commerce has joined the leftists. Disgusting."

The Chamber joined the leftists a long time ago. It's been on the Cheap Labor Express since the day it left the station.

USCC has grown alligator skin from being in the swamp so long. Near the top of the food chain.
