Outsourcing of jobs, campaigns harmful

It was reported this week that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is running political ads with unlimited funds without disclosing any of its donors. It has also been said that the Chamber is likely skirting campaign finance laws that ban the involvement of multinational foreign corporations in American elections.

We know that American corporations are outsourcing jobs and that's why so many Americans have lost and are losing their jobs. Now we have the corporations through the Chamber using foreign money to influence voters.

If voters aren't angry about this double whammy of outsourcing, they should be and they should express that outrage in the election. This outsourcing is cheating the American worker out of house and home.
