Advertising anti-US worker members of Congress

Despite the obvious detriment to US workers, business interests in the United States are allowed to import hundreds of thousands of cheap foreign workers every year.

8 U.S.C. § 1182. Inadmissible aliens

(i) In general Any alien who seeks to enter the United States for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor is inadmissible…

These business interests enjoy all the advantages of doing business in the United States. They benefit, as we all do, from a stable political climate, transparent judicial system, first rate infrastructure, well-developed banking system, advanced educational opportunities, and a wide array of social services. Such advantages cost money, of course, which we all pay for as members of this society. `

Unfortunately, too many businesses don’t want to pay their fair share of the costs for our expensive quality of life. Rather than pay their neighbors a suitable wage appropriate to an advanced social structure, they choose to import cheaper humans from abroad.

In so doing they cheat their neighbors. They leave American workers with the high cost of being an American while simultaneously undercutting their wages. Further, they increase the burden on American families by dumping the medical, educational, and other social costs of their imported workers on taxpayers.

Why does Congress allow some special interests to abuse Americans so unfairly?

The answer lies in the influence of business lobbyists on Capitol Hill. Members of Congress can allow themselves to be influenced by the nine million dollars per day special interests pour into Washington, DC without concern that our somnambulent corporate media will inform the voters back home.

That’s where we come in. ProjectUSA puts up billboards in the home districts or states of members of Congress whose actions help special interests undermine American workers. We identify the worst offenders by looking at their voting records, then factoring in their sources of campaign funds. Then we factor in the demographics of their districts or states to determine in which five or six members’ districts would a billboard be most effective.

Users of this site can then vote for which member they’d most like to see face an informed constituency. Since we don’t have anything like nine million dollars per day to play with, we ask voters to pay for each vote as a way to fund the billboards.

Trust us, this isn’t a way for us to become rich. And it’s a lot of work But there are a lot of people in this country experiencing real pain thanks to the greed of a few, and they deserve help. They can count on ours. We hope they can count on yours, too.
