Tell the Senate: Don't Listen to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce really stepped in it this week.

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.

This week 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.
