Letter To The Editor

 

Congressman Frank Guinta bragged in a newsletter about getting an award from the US Chamber of Commerce. He claimed it was because of his “pro-jobs” voting record, but it unquestionably had more to do with the 100% rating the US Chamber gave him. The only New England congressman with 100%, he joined a tiny minority - 8% of US house members (from mainly southern and western states) - with a perfect score as lackeys to Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the other multi-nationals that the US Chambers lobbies for.

 

The US Chamber of Commerce is not like your local Chamber. In NH, many major local chambers are not even members, including Dover, Manchester, Merrimack, Hudson, Nashua, and Souhegan Valley. In 2010 the VP of the Greater Hudson Chamber, Jerry Mayotte, said, “I could not find one positive thing to say about being involved in the US Chamber” (Nashua Telegraph, 10/17/10).

 

The US Chamber is a lobbying front for its big corporate donors, and its agenda harms middle-class Americans. In 2008 only 45 corporations donated almost half of its $140 million in contributions, and many of those contributions coincided with lobbying that endangers us all. For example, Dow Chemical’s $1.7 million contribution included funding for the Chamber’s fight against legislation to protect chemical plants from attack (NYT, 10/22/10).

 

Congressman Guinta, I wouldn’t boast about US Chamber support. It’s like being stamped “bought and paid for” by multi-national corporations. I can’t wait to vote against this congressman who forgot his NH constituents.
