Dear Friend,
Which of the following describes the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce?
1. A
powerful lobby fighting to sink health care reform.
2. A
force against solutions to the climate crisis.
3. A
group using money from bailed-out banks to block workers' rights
and financial reform.
4. A
"Chamber" that even local Chambers of Commerce distance
themselves from.
Answer? All of the above.
Right now, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is engaged
in a $100 million campaign to block President Obama's
agenda: needed reforms that would help struggling
Americans and help make our economy work for
everyone.
Sign our "Not My
Chamber" pledge. Help show our leaders that the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce doesn't speak for real consumers or small
businesses.
As
small businesses and America's workers suffer, the U.S. Chamber
is woefully out of touch with reality. Even major corporations
are resigning in protest. In response to the Chamber's stance
against clean energy, for instance, companies including
Apple, Nike, and PG&E have quit or downgraded their
memberships.
The
U.S. Chamber of Commerce likes people to think it represents
small business. But the truth is, it has abandoned the values of
local Chambers of Commerce around the country and become a lobby
for greedy CEOs. Mike Jaffe, chief executive of the Greater New
York Chamber of Commerce, recently said "they don't represent
me."
Don't let the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce keep obstructing progress. Sign our "Not My
Chamber" pledge.
Then, forward this to all your friends and
family – especially if they own a small
business!
The
tide is quickly rising against the Chamber's obstructionist
views. Whether you're a member of your local Chamber of
Commerce, a small business owner, or someone who simply supports
workers' rights, we need you to join us and take a
stand.
Thank you for making your voice heard.
Sincerely, Liz, Manny, Elizabeth B. and the
American Rights at Work team
P.S.
Please pass this email on to your friends and family –
especially folks who are small business owners – and urge
them to sign our
pledge.
