Progressive groups and individuals are targeting the U.S. Chamber for its opposition to pretty much anything that makes life even "a little better for working people." Politico reports:

Labor unions and other progressive organizations are taking aim at the nation's premier business lobby: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

One effort is being led by the Service Employees International Union, which is attacking the Chamber's history of opposing legislation aimed at helping the working class. Its campaign has two goals: to counter the Chamber's messages and its motives.

Small business owners spoke out against the U.S. Chambers true motives on climate change with the help of MoveOn.org. Said one:

"The Chamber of Commerce should represent the interests of American business -- not just the interests of a few of its big donors," Joe Guggenheim, owner of a small publishing company and a member of the Chamber, said in his letter to the organization.

Others involved in battling the U.S. Chamber include groups working on reforming both our financial and healthcare systems.

SEIU's Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger sums up the U.S. Chamber's modus operandi:

"Anytime there is a bill that makes things a little better for working people, they are opposed to it. What they are saying today about the [Employee] Free Choice Act is the same thing they said in the 1930s," Burger said. "It was Armageddon then, and it's Armageddon now."

"We want to point out who the Chamber is. It's a small group of people who fund campaigns against working families," Burger said. "This isn't business against workers. This is the Chamber of Commerce against workers."

Be sure to fax your Member of Congress and tell them that the to listen to working people, not the greedy corporations at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
