The U.S. Chamber’s very bad lobbying day.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce really stepped in it yesterday.

The multi-million dollar corporate group flew in hundreds of CEOs and
other businesspeople to pressure your senators into doing nothing to
help working people.  But boy, did it not go well for the U.S. Chamber.

Two of their priority senators both issued public statements after
meeting with the U.S. Chamber saying that they are open to debate on
labor law reform - exactly what the U.S. Chamber is fighting against.

Let’s seize this opportunity.  Write to your senators now and let them
know that they should stand with working people, not the greedy CEOs
represented by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The U.S. Chamber is backed by some of the biggest corporations in
America.  Now they’re spending millions of dollars to stop corporations
from being held accountable.

Just yesterday the U.S. Chamber placed a newspaper ad in Washington, DC
riddled with lies, hypocrisy, and misconceptions about the Employee
Free Choice Act.  In short, they’re fighting to make sure only greedy
CEOs can have contracts - and that working people can’t.

But the U.S. Chamber’s CEO lobby day went so poorly that we a chance to
push back and make clear to the senate that working people need help -
and they need it now.

Send your message to the Senate now.

Thanks for all you do.
