AT ONE TIME LA RAZA HAD THESE CORPORATIONS LISTED ON THEIR
WEBSITE UNTIL OUTRAGE FROM AMERICANS (LEGALS) CAUSED THEM TO CONCEAL THE LIST.
THE ENTIRE REASON BEHIND THE AMNESTY HOAX IS TO KEEP WAGES
DEPRESSED AND PASS ALONG THE REAL STAGGERING COST OF ALL THAT “CHEAP” MEXICAN
LABOR TO THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS!

To Big U.S. Corporations: What About Some
Patriotism for America?
07/03/2013
The 4th of July is synonymous with
patriotism. Tomorrow, all over the country, Americans will congregate to spend
time with family and friends, barbecue, watch fireworks, and celebrate our
nation's independence. Many will recite the pledge of allegiance or sing the national
anthem. Wouldn't it be appropriate for the large corporations that were founded
in the United States to show a similar acknowledgement of patriotism?
After all, these corporations rose to their enormous size on the backs of American workers. Their success can be attributed to taxpayer-subsidized research and development handouts. Not to mention those corporations that rushed to Washington D.C. for huge bailouts from the taxpayers when mismanagement or corruption got them into serious trouble.
How do these companies show their gratitude to their home country? Many of them send jobs overseas to dictatorial regimes and oligarchic societies who abuse their impoverished workers -- all in the name of greater profits. Meanwhile, back home, corporate lobbyists continue to press for more privileges and immunities so as to be less accountable under U.S. law for corporate crimes and other misbehaviors.
In a survey conducted by the Center for Study of Responsive Law, twenty of the largest unions and twenty of the largest U.S. Chartered corporations were asked the following simple question on three separate occasions:

In a survey conducted by the Center for Study of Responsive Law, twenty of the largest unions and twenty of the largest U.S. Chartered corporations were asked the following simple question on three separate occasions:
Do you think it desirable to have your
CEO and/or your president at your annual shareholders meetings stand up on the
stage and, in the name of your company (not your diverse board of directors),
pledge allegiance to our flag that is completed by the ringing phrase
"with liberty and justice for all?"
In this survey, nine of the twenty unions replied that they do "pledge allegiance to the flag ...with liberty and justice for all" or, as a substitute, sing the national anthem.
Only two of the twenty corporations -- Chevron and Walmart -- responded with an explanation of their company's view of patriotism, but declined to respond directly to the question. Some of the companies that chose not to respond are: Apple, GE, GM, Verizon, J.P. Morgan Chase and Co., AT&T, Ford, ExxonMobil, Bank of America and others.
See nader.org for the full list of companies and unions that were sent the letter, including which ones that responded and which did not.
Back in 1996, a similar survey was sent to 100 of the largest chartered corporations. Thirty-four of them responded, and all but one explained why they declined to say the Pledge of Allegiance at their annual shareholders meeting. (Federated Department Stores was the only company that embraced the idea.) Many of the corporations misconstrued the request by explaining that it might offend foreign nationals who might be on their boards of Directors. (The request was crystal clear; it was to have the CEO stand up and pledge allegiance on behalf of their U.S. chartered corporation... ) After all, it's these very CEOs who want their American companies to be treated as "persons" under our constitution in order to retain and expand their powerful privileges and immunities.
In an age of increased jingoism about freedom and American ideals, the comparative yardsticks of patriotism should be applied frequently and meticulously to the large U.S. corporations that rove the world seeking advantages from other countries, to the detriment of the United States. It is our country that chartered them into existence and helped insure their success and survival. And these corporations now wield immense power in our elections, in our economy, over our military and foreign policies, and even in how we spend time with our friends and families.
The 4th of July is an ideal time to call out these runaway corporate giants who exploit the patriotic sensibilities of Americans for profit and, in wars, for profiteering, but decline to be held to any patriotic expectations or standards of their own.

The danger, as Washington

LaRaza Calls For Boycott Against Free Speech
No surprise here. Pulling the race/hate card again and using political
correctness La Raza goes after cable shows reporting on illegal immigration.
"Murguía said she recognized that ultimately the power to change the debate lies with the Hispanic community itself. “Latinos buy products from the advertisers supporting these programs,” she said. “Latinos vote in primaries and in the general election. We have a significant role to play picking winners and losers in both arenas. We need to make it clear to those who embrace hate that they do so at their own economic and political peril.”

Tonight Tuesday July 8, 2008
Sens. McCain and Obama are fiercely courting the Latino
vote. Last month they spoke to the National Association of Latino Elected and
Appointed Officials; today it’s the League of United Latin American Citizens’
national convention; and this weekend they’re set to address the National
Council of La Raza, one of the most radical socio-ethnocentric interest groups
in the country.

Immigrating America Into a Colony of Mexico
We’ve
got an even more ominous enemy within our borders that promotes “Reconquista of
Aztlan” or the reconquest of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas into the
country of Mexico. With 9.2 million Mexicans now living in America, their goal
of colonizing our country back into Mexico moves forward. A more sobering reality
stems from the evidence that it’s Mexican-American citizens in the forefront of
this disintegration of our country.

What is the response of Barack
Obama, who took an oath to see to it that federal laws are faithfully executed?
He is siding with the
law-breakers. He is pandering to the ethnic lobbies. He is not berating a
Mexican regime that aids and abets this invasion of the country of which he is
commander in chief. Instead, he attacks the government of Arizona for trying to
fill a gaping hole in law enforcement left by his own dereliction of duty.
