BOEHNER CONFIDANT CASHES IN ON AMNESTY
Breitbart ^ | 1/27/14 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 01/28/2014 12:34:58 PM PST by jimbo123

House Speaker John Boehner’s ex-chief of staff Barry Jackson (pictured, right) is now working with the Chamber of Commerce to help its lobbying campaign for comprehensive immigration reform.

“The former chief of staff to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is working as a consultant for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as the big business trade group pushes Congress to enact immigration reform,” Politico reported Monday afternoon.

While his firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck publicly registered to lobby for the chamber on immigration reform in June, Jackson's involvement was not previously known because he is acting as a non-lobbying adviser. BHFS confirmed Jackson is providing strategic advice and counsel. BHFS's Elizabeth Maier is leading the firm's effort while veteran Republican lobbyists Will Moschella and Marc Lampkin are engaged in the day-to-day lobbying effort. BHFS reported billing the chamber $80,000 in lobbying fees in 2013.

The GOP gave America RomneyCARE, gay marriage,
bleeding deficits, bowing to Saudis after they bombed the US,
and both Romney and Obama (by nominating losers).

As long as Boehner is in power,
the GOP can NEVER be trusted again.

Amnesty = a sure-fire way to convert a sure-fire GOP landslide in 2014 to a sure-fire wipe out.

It's treason, and it was an inside job.

Dear Mr Speaker,
I don’t have fifty million dollars like the US chamber of Commerce but I hold something far more dear. My right to vote and I will never vote for anybody like you again.
Thank you for listening. Now go bug off , play golf, and smoke a Marlboro

Incestuous bunch of money-grubbing inside-the-beltway GOPe types. Time to get rid of ALL their influence and corruption. Banish them to the backbenches where their influence peddling possibilities are fewer.
