As stated in an earlier article, the time has come for our Congress to disband the OPIC (Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and keep American Money IN AMERICA, working for America. If you wonder how much of our money is steered overseas through this quasi governmental organization, all you have to do is start looking. I found over 4,000 web sites that link to the OPIC, most of them foreign countries, or US Embassies in Foreign counties, with the occassional bank thrown in for good measure...visiting some of these sites, examing some of the PUBLIC ACCESS DOCUMENTS is and eye opener. I have taken the liberty of posting some of the links in this article.
Further, in one of the documents found, I saw a break down of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in countries from around the world...again, I have taken the liberty of posting some of the figures in this article. What is apparent, is the time has come for OUR MONEY to STAY AT HOME, it is time for America, and American companies to invest in America, rather than having our government helping them with the use of our tax dollars to build infrastructure in foreign lands, to outsource American jobs and manufacture to foreign countries, many of which ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS. Write your elected officials and demand the dismantling of OPIC! *note-we have up to 25 MILLION illegal aliens wrongfully working in America, the majority of them from Mexico...why is the OPIC lending them assistance, and backing up their efforts with our TAX DOLLARS....

In June 2004, the Investment Promotion Agreement signed between Mexico and the
United States entered into force.[1] Under this Agreement, the Overseas Private

form of insurance, co-insurance and reinsurance, participation in the equity of
enterprises and issuance of debt, as well as investment guarantees.
Support is granted for projects and activities on Mexican territory
