The U.S. Big Business Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue is on record with full support for Obamacare and Amnesty (comprehensive immigration reform).   Now he and the likeminded K-Street Lobbyists are presenting a third issue which runs in opposition to the will of the people, Common Core education.

Why can’t people see through this Big R smokescreen ?   ObamaCare, Amnesty and Common Core education standards are supported by the same people who support the likes of Mitch McConnell.   These are facts.
WASHINGTON DC – Tea party activists have been waging war for months against the Common Core  academic standards. Now, in a coordinated show of muscle, Big Business is  fighting back — and notching wins.
The urgent effort stems from a sense among supporters that this is a  make-or-break moment for the Common Core, which is under siege all over the  country.
A coalition including the Business Roundtable and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce  will launch a national advertising blitz Sunday targeted at Republicans  skeptical about the standards. Spots promoting the Common Core will air on Fox  News and other conservative outlets.

The campaign — a major ad buy that could last months — aims to undercut dire  tea party warnings that the standards amount to a federal power grab, akin to  Obamacare. The TV spots and online ads will project a positive tone, featuring  teachers praising the Common Core.
In a parallel effort unfolding mostly in deep red states, thousands of  small-business owners and corporate executives have been bombarding state  lawmakers with emails, calls and personal visits to press the point that better  standards will mean a better workforce and ultimately, a better economy. They’ve  been joined in some states by military officers who argue that not just the  economy, but national security is at stake. (read more)
