Chamber of Commerce: if we disclose our corporate donors - Obama & Americans - might punish them!

[kpete]

U.S. Chamber of Commerce executive vice president for government affairs:

........................

When some of those corporate names were divulged, not by us, by others, what did they receive? They received protests, they received threats, they were intimidated, they were harassed, they had to hire additional security, they were recipients of a host of proxies leveled at those companies that had nothing to do with the purpose of those companies. So we know what the purpose here is. It’s to harass and intimidate.

Much like we’ve seen in California with ballot initiatives — when the proponents of ballot initiatives’ names have been divulged to the public — those people were harassed, they were threatened with violence and they were intimidated.

1. Right, just like the Obama Admin is "punishing" the banking industry,

and Wall Street, ending the war in Afghanistan and repealing DADT.


Just not holding my breath anymore. :eyes:
