The US Chamber of Commerce is backing Congressman Allen Boyd in his campaign for reelection.

The Chamber is a nonpartisan business group that backs more Republicans than Democrats, but they went with Boyd saying he’s proven himself business friendly. Boyd says the Chamber has been a good watchdog in Washington for Florida’s small business owners.

“The U.S. Chamber understands that this country’s businesses need an educated and healthy workforce to turn to, and so as I watch the chamber over the 22 years that I have been in legislative service I have seen them continuously work to that end,” said Boyd.

Boyd narrowly won his primary battle against state Senator Al Lawson. He now faces Republican nominee Steve Southerland in the congressional district two election.

Dear US Chamber, Please give us the real reason why you endorsed Allen Boyd (D) for FL's 2nd Congressional District. He only got a 60% on your latest tabulation of "Percentage of correct votes". Out of 179 Republican Congressmen, only 1 scored lower than Allen Boyd. Isn't there a high probability that candidate Steve Southerland would score better than Allen Boyd? If you like Carly Fiorina's quote "...We need less professional politicians...", why endorse a 22 year career politician & D grade correct voter?

Look the choice is simple folks. You like Obamma vote for Boyd, if not vote for Southerland. Don't listen to the advertisements, don't look at the party, just ask yourself are you better off with Obama or before?
