How do we fight the Chamber of Commerce and Corporations

[SargeUNN]

considering the S.C. ruling earlier this year which helps hide this? How deep a problem is this with their foreign funds coming in? I feel this is extremely dangerous and within a few election cycles it could end any real chance of the people having any real control of our gov't.

1. Don't support your local Chamber of Commerce..

and let everyone know why?

[Scruffy1]

11. The two organizations are not really connected

Local chambers of commerce are autonomous and the US Chamber of Commerce is just a front for big retailers and the like.

2. We need to win 2010 and win bigger in 2012.

But I'm starting to think that maybe We can do it, if We do it creatively. It's kind of difficult to strike against the CoC, since they don't produce anything.

I'm glad to see so many Democrats showing outrage in the media.

3. Let every one know

The Chamber of Commerce and Corporations are selling our Democracy out to the highest bidder, including Foriegn money.
Then go vote the GOP out,, Send the message America is not for sale ..

6. Not sure, but they must be destroyed

I'm glad that we're finally focusing on the real problem in this country.

7. Take your money away from them

Don't do business with them or do as little as possible.

It's hard to avoid them totally but you can definitely decrease the amount of business you do with corporations. Buy food from local farmers markets. Have old things repaired instead of buying new things.

It is not totally effective but it will make them feel the pain. At the same time you can build up an alternative economy based on local producers.

8. Here in Florida you can fight them with the Sunshine Law.

Bet it gets broken in these meetings all the time.

9. It is really dangerous.

10. The fact that all the donations can be anonymous is crazy.

Any ads should say where the money comes from.
Otherwise total lies can be stated with no accountability.

I don't understand why this is legal.

12. I don't know, but if you accept their money, you're un-American & unpatriotic

That's how I'm looking at it.

Ask each & every one of the Republicans what they are going to give in return for all that monetary help.

How much more are they going to sell America & Americans out for?

Any American, rich or poor should be alarmed because this changes who and what we are. After all our jobs & money are gone, what will the Republicans do next? Sell our land out from under us? Let the Russians, or Chinese dictate what laws they want enacted?

I'm just wondering ... I have no idea what our future holds for us. It only takes a few election cycles for all to change.

If they tea-baggers took their heads out of Fox, maybe they'd become alarmed. But Fox serves it purpose in all that, don't they?

13. How about Social Media

What can we do there?

What different ways can we do it? (thinking demographics, here)

I have no idea how to do it, I'm still learning Facebook.

15. The Repiggies are All Over Facebook

I see ads for the teaparty and all the other repiggie fronts on Facebook all the time.
I Click the "X" and flag them as "Misleading" or "Offensive".

They are saturating every conceivable advertising outlet.

14. Most every town has a Chamber--Shouldn't there be picketts.

The public needs to know about this. Get local news to cover it.
