The long line of those working to oppose Tea Party and candidates in 2014

By Darla Dawald

 According to Wikipedia, The Chamber has emerged as the largest lobbying organization in America. The Chamber's lobbying expenditures in 2012 were more than three times as high as the next highest spender: National Assn of Realtors, at $41.5 million. Now the Chamber of Commerce has vowed to oppose Tea Party candidates in the primaries and work with John Boehner and the House to pass immigration reform in their favor. It appears the line is getting longer of those opposed to the values of the Tea Party. It's become obvious that we've definitely hit a nerve. See the story below:

Chamber of Commerce to oppose tea party in primaries

The Daily Caller Reports:

At the annual State of American Business Address on Wednesday, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue announced that the chamber plans on endorsing against some tea party members in Republican primaries.
“In 2014, the chamber will work to protect and expand a pro-business majority in the House and advance our position and our influence in the Senate,” Donohue said. “The business community understands what’s at stake.”
Donohue explained in an interview with Bloomberg, that while he is skeptical of big government, he opposes politicians who have “hitched their trailer to the tea party wagon.” Donohue blames these lawmakers for shutting down the government in October 2013. Source

The Asbury Park Press NJ Reports:

The nation's largest business-lobbying group "will pull out the stops" to encourage Congress to pass a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, chamber president Tom Donohue said during his annual "State of American Business" speech.
The chamber's move challenges Tea Party-aligned Republicans who incensed business leaders after those lawmakers successfully pushed a partial federal government shutdown last October in effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Donohue said the business group is looking at "half a dozen" House and Senate races involving primaries or open seats to aid candidates who agree with the chamber's positions on the economy, trade, immigration and other issues.
He said he doesn't disagree with Tea Party principles, such as controlling federal spending. But, he said, "people who announce 'I'm going for the House or Senate, and my idea is to burn down the town' â?¦we are not going to be interested in them."
The Senate passed a comprehensive rewrite of immigration laws in June, but no measure has passed the GOP-controlled House, where some Republicans oppose the Senate deal allowing the nation's 12 million undocumented immigrants to apply for citizenship.
House Speaker John Boehner is expected to release a blueprint in the coming weeks that outlines the key principles of an immigration overhaul that the House could consider. Boehner also recently hired Rebecca Tallent, a former aide to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has long supported changes to immigration law - raising hopes among advocates that he is willing to move forward.

Donohue said he's "encouraged" by recent developments in the House.

The Daily Caller:
This past November, the chamber financially supported Bradley Byrne over tea party favorite Dean Young in the Republican primary for a U.S. House seat. With the help of business groups and the chamber’s $199,000 backing, Byrne prevailed.
Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash faces a business-backed primary challenger. Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce head Steve Stevens decided againstchallenging Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie.
Donohue also touted immigration legislation opposed by many conservatives.
“We’re determined to make 2014 the year that immigration reform is finally enacted,” said Donohue.

Yes the Chamber has had some successes and has managed to outspend tea party candidates in a few races. However, according to Wikipedia:

Despite more than $33 million spent supporting candidates in Congressional races in 2012, Chamber-backed candidates lost 36 out of the 50 elections in which the Chamber participated

With so many opposing the Tea Party it is clear that we must organize quickly within our local GOP, become Precinct Committeemen, volunteer to assist Tea Party Candidates for Get out the Vote efforts, or run ourselves. What we must not do is divide intro more parties, sit out on the sidelines and expect anything to change for the better.

We need to come together, put our anger, angst, and frustration into a positive channel of energy and be a part of the change we need to see. As I always state,  You are the One You have been waiting for. Only You can make a difference. We must not expect that our neighbor, friend or anyone else is going to do the work for us.

I became a PC because I cannot allow the liberals, the evil, the uninformed, and the RINOs to steal all that I hold valuable.

What are you willing to do? United we stand divided we fall!

Take Back the GOP!

I'm not afraid of the Chamber of Commerce or their big money, I am afraid of angry, well meaning libertarians and conservatives that can't see through their anger to plan, strategize, and win UNITED..
