The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which accepts millions of dollars to advance the interests of massive corporations, has pledged to spend as much as $100 million on ads attacking candidates who don’t fall in line with its corporate agenda. Until the Chamber discloses its donors Corporate America will remain unaccountable to the American public. Enough is enough. Let’s stand up to the Chamber’s corporate propaganda and demand disclosure!

Help The Public Citizen and SEIU 500 throw the kind of birthday party the Chamber deserves!
