Good to be here
I have finally figured this blog out and write these lines to say greetings and salutations to any who may visit this site.
It seems that the United States Chamber of Commerce and the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce have launched a big money campaign to take more and more from West Virginia consumers for the benefit of the multi-national business groups that pay their not insubstantial salaries. BEWARE. Ask for the facts when these people start talking in generalities; the goal of the Chamber is to benefit big business and corporate CEOs who are ruining this county's manufacturing and research base in the name of short term profits. The wailing they do about "trial lawyers" is just a public relations stunt to divert attention from what they really want. The Chamber has done some polling that shows the phrase "trial lawyer" to have a negative meaning with the general public so they try to use that phrase all the time--even when the surveys they rely on don't even mention the word "lawyer." Do not trust these people. They tell only half truths. They wish to deceive you into giving up your rights and hurting our system of government.What big business really wnats is to control your judges and public officials so no one will be watching the store the next time an ENRON type scandal rolls around. It is the judges and the Attorney General they are after and all this BS about "trial lawyers" and "frivilous lawsuits" is just a smoke screen for that plan.
Call Steve Roberts at the state Chamber office and ask him how many times the phrase "trial lawyer" or "frivilous lawsuit" is mentioned in the Harris survey the Chamber is so proud of these days. If he will even give you an answer and if, this is a BIG if, he will tell you the truth, he will disclose that this survey didn't even ask about these supposed "problems." What the siurvey did was rate your judges as the most incompetent in the country and our juries the second most biased and unfair in the United States. Why doesn't Mr. Roberts tell you this? Because to do so would be to reveal the true nature of the Chamber's goals. It would also give a you a realistic area that you could inquire about. But, if you were allowed to do that you would be able to determine that the Chamber survey is just a fluff piece written by the richest people in the world to promote their agenda at your expense. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BALONEY.
Ask for specific facts. Ask for verifiable information. If you have a question for me, just send it here. Lets have a little honest debate and leave the big business syncophants at the Chamber where they belong--in New York counting their money.
