And when ask about it, said that it was up to them, to prove they did not break the law ?
I thought you were innocent until proven guilty in america.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And if they aren&#8217;t, then they should open their books for all to see. Or should we just believe them?<br />
<br />They do it because they can, and they can because they&#8217;ve managed to subvert &#8216;our&#8217; government for their own advantage. Corporations are now legal people with all the rights of a human citizen.  We may soon see these corporations begin a drive to privatize everything in this country and well as hollowing out any kind of government control over their actions.  Basically this what the movers and shakers of the GOP/Teabag/Fox News party are after.  That&#8217;s why you have to be nuts to vote for any of the stooges that these people are putting up for election.  Remember George Bush&#8230;Stooge in Chief?  Just wait until the congress is full of these zombies.  Zombies doing the bidding of the trans national corporations.  Wow&#8230; I can hardly wait!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since churches are non-profit organizations, they are not allowed to endorse or fund the campaign of a political candidate in the US. </p>
<p>However, many churches are active members of their community&#8217;s Chamber of Commerce. With the recent Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce &amp; many community Chambers are very actively involved in campaign advertising now. Since churches are members of these organizations, at least some part of the dues paid by the churches ARE going to political campaigning, which seems wrong to me.</p>
<p>Are they allowed to contribute additional money to their local chambers, beyond dues, in effect funneling non-profit non-political money into an organization that is not restricted on campaign spending? And/or is there a limit on funds they can contribute or dues paid, to prevent such a scheme?<br />
<br />This is a very grey area and I think it needs to be looked at by congress.</p>

<br />Obama has received one trillion dollars from overseas sources and placed that money in his pocket.  He calls it wages for a job well done.  Ask him to prove it is not so and he will stammer some lie and offer no proof at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It appears that virtually all Americans think the gop and it&#8217;s backers like the Chamber of Commerce and various foreign investors (heavy $$$ from China?) are simply wrong and need to be transparent and perhaps even illegal.<br />
Do you agree?<br />
Should these folks be able to use foreign money to influence US elections? Should they be required to be transparent?<br />
<br />Your question can be answered by simply following the money trail. Why are corporation allowed to donate and buy commercial time; without disclosure as to where the funding originated. Should American be afraid that nations that have huge holdings in global corporations can easily affect our domestic elections.</p>
