Spends The Same

A Think Progress investigation has found that the US Chamber of Commerce funds its political attack campaign out of its general account, which solicits foreign funding, sometimes from corporations controlled by foreign governments. The countries include China, India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Russia.

Now the chamber will say they use those monies for something other than bankrolling the Republican party. They will say they use different monies to do that. But it all spends the same. And that means foreign interests are influencing US elections through the Chamber of Commerce. It also explains why the Republican party is such a big fan of outsourcing.
