The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Department is not only Pro-Allen, but also censors comments on their website that don't toe the party line.

In my last newsletter I used an entry from the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce's Government Affairs Department blog. In it, Virginia candidate for Senator Jim Webb states that he is opposed to H-1B.

Use this link to read it:

The administrators of the blog allow comments, but be careful what you say!

I sent a few simple statements that praised Jim Webb's opposition to H-1B followed by information about how his opponent, George Allen, supports H-1B and the Skil Bill. My message was promptly censored from the website, and my comment wasn't the only one to be removed!

Apparently the Chamber of Commerce posted that blog as a way of castigating Jim Webb for opposing H-1B. They are intolerant to anything written to the contrary because they are H-1B supporters and shortage shouters. Read this
excerpt to see what I mean:

  The immediate staffing shortages in Fairfax County are in the technology sector, according to the head of the County's Economic Development Authority. That problem is nationwide and will require a comprehensive approach that includes the expansion of our H-1B visa program.
