Action pnum1008 Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Pass legislation and hold hearings about abuses of Chamber of Commerce ********** [160342:070110] M.G., Ukiah, CA The US Chamber of Commerce must be investigated as an illegal radical right wing organization. Demand that our local government agencies cease from financially supporting this un-American organization. ********** [091059:063010] J.S., Tampa, FL A point to remember - small businesses are NOT represented by the COC - the COC is an enemy of small businesses that are being bankrupted by the costs of health care and the lack of working capital. ********** [083708:063010] K.L., Winter Haven, FL The Chamber has turned into an anti-future organization and has lost all credibility. ********** [024802:053010] E.F., Marine On Saint Croix, MN hello, i feel strongly about this issue and you should too! ********** [172352:052910] H.K., Bainbridge Island, WA The Chamber of Commerce has done to harm the American worker and middle class than any other group I can think of while hiding under the guise of a patriotic organization. They are entirely owned and paid for by some of the biggest corporations corrupting the very principles of what this country was founded upon. There must be some oversight and transparency on their operations and dealings. ********** [164041:050810] L.S., Central City, NE Because the Chamber of Commerce represents so many American businesses, it must support an honest and patriotic program in order to serve its members and its country well. ********** [131122:050710] j.v., San Francisco, CA Another criminal: THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE! Pass legislation to stop the criminal abuses by the chamber, criminals and corruption - no shortage of these in usa govt! U need to restore integrity and a moral compass in govt. Many should have prison sentences. Don't let them out until I'm off this planet! I would appreciate your looking into these abuses by the chamber of COMMERCE! ********** [061650:050610] J.K., Newton Center, MA The Chamber serves the interest of their LARGEST corporate members against he interests of smaller businesses: why does any smaller business continue to support the Chamber? ********** [200805:050510] G.B., Santa Ana, CA I am writing to ask that you open an investigation and hold hearings into the activities of the United States Chamber of Commerce ("COC"). Specifically, according to new reports, court filings and NGO investigations, COC, under the leadership of Tom Donahue, has gone from a well respected trade organization to an extremist political organization dedicated to corrupting American democracy by elevating the profits of big corporations over the well being of the citizens they serve. The most recent example of this corrupt behavior is the Chamber's announcement that it is spending more than $100 million to defeat initiatives to protect the environment and provide affordable health care to everyone. ********** [163323:050510] L.D., San Jose, CA "Not only is the Chamber lobbying and advertising against the interests of Americans, it is also committing fraud and violating campaign finance laws by creating fake astroturfing front groups, with patriotic names like Citizens for a Strong Ohio, and then illegally funneling millions of anonymous dollars into those groups to attack candidates and judges who won't do their bidding, thereby undermining our elections." This is the single most corrupt and undemocratic policy of the Chamber that demands that our policymakers and courts aggressively scrutinize, investigate, and prosecute this unlawful activity. ********** [151856:050510] F.G., Hickory, NC It's time to stop the Chamber from using it's huge resources to subvert our way of Government and also using it's power to lobby against the good of the majority of American's. ********** [112823:050510] V.S., Fort Lauderdale, FL THIS A LOBBY FOR BIG CORPORATE BUISNESSES BOUGHT AND PAID FOR ********** [103919:050510] M.D., Portland, OR The Chamber of Commerce has gone too far, by bribing officials to overlook safety campaigns. ********** [103129:050510] R.C., Prescott, AZ Free trade is a myth, and all peoples are held hostage by the world wide industrial corporations and the military corporation. ********** [181659:042610] K.Z., Marshall, WI When is Congress going to reject corporate influence and do the jobs its constituents expect? I am so disillusioned with corporate lobbyist influence-peddling and the capitulation of too many Congressmen and -women, I despair that this country will ever become what the founders envisioned. America has become the greed-capital of the world. If it's not the greed-heads prevailing in the news, we are subjected to the idiocy of the teabaggers who don't even know what exactly they think they are revolting against--while they preen and scream in public exhibition. We've become a nation of loud-mouthed odious fools. The rest of the world by now has witnessed our peculiar American opprobrium, to our detriment. ********** [141315:042310] c.d., Fort Bragg, CA Now that corporations have personal privilege, let these bastards pull lifetime sentences of hard time for their psychopathic, criminal activities. ********** [121657:042010] S.M., Westland, MI The Chamber of Commerce is dangerous for the American people and the companies they represent. They disort the truth, committ fraud and are not good for our democracy. ********** [113749:042010] j.d., Conestoga, PA one of the most severe terrorist threats we face today....the US Chamber of Commerce ********** [102257:042010] J.F., Metairie, LA The Chamber of Commerce should be fully investigated for whatever shady, underhanded deals they're trying to get away with. ********** [084126:042010] N.F., Highland Park, IL I am appalled at the amoral behavior of the Chamber of Commerce. They are foes of responsible government and the public. They undermine attempts at reforming serious problems at the expense of the public. I demand accountability! ********** [075458:041910] e.t., Louisville, CO I groan when I hear of the policies and actions backed by the US Chamber of Commerce. they seem to support the position of corporate profiteers instead of supporting the interests of small business owners and the citizens of our country. They need to change their course and fast! ********** [082203:041710] D.H., San Jose, CA When I was growing up we were told to write to the Chamber of Commerce for information on differant states. I thought this was a cool thing. But now I see that the Chamber of Commerce is just a tool for the worst corporations in this country. This has to be stopped now! ********** [153005:041510] k.a., Portland, OR We send you to Washington to work for us "WE THE PEOPLE" Start doing what you say you will do. OR go the HELL home The American people are tired of being sold out . "GLOBELIZATION" Is not to bring 3rd world countries up to our standards It is to bring the "AMERICAN PEOPLE " down to 3rd world country standards . So the GREEDY can have more.... HOW MUCH DO THEY NEED?????ENOUGH! ********** [111431:041510] J.S., Igo, CA The Chamber has come to epitomize the absolute worst in this nation: sociopathicly insane greed with no regard for humanity, patriotism or the Constitution. They have lied, cheated and stolen with impunity for far too long. They work for the top 1% of Americans and nobody else. ********** [214354:041410] W.H., Centralia, WA We must all remember that the name of the Chamber of Commerce actually means.. chamber for the growth of big business and the hell with the consumers. hah, yeah..you have a bunch of billionaire loving idiots running around promoting big businesses right to rape and kill the american public and the american way of life. Lots of lies also. Aimed at making you think they're your buddies, when they are really stealing your childrens jobs in the future for their own personal wealth. These are scumbags! Just like the catholic church, this is all about lies, sex, and extreme wealth and power. **********
