Chamber of Commerce to Dump Millions in Senate Races

Write 'em!
As a small business owner and a member of my local Chamber, I am going to write them and tell them I don't appreciate them using our dues for this kind of thing. Here in Oregon, we are fighting like hell to send Gordon Smith home, and he's done little for me either as a small business owner or a private citizen.
And I don't know how it is in other States, but the ads are a direct rip-off of Obama's campaign, right down the font used while it lists a litany of "achievements" that Democrats would find appealing, only didn't quite happen that way.
Partisanship
I had no idea the US Chamber of Commerce took political action to this level! I wonder how business owners who support democratic values feel about this.

So they will continue the class warfare that they belive will allow them to keep their economic enslavement ongoing. The top 1% still control 50% so how are their intrests consolidated? By keeping the 99% divided. Time to wake up and realize that the "vote" is a sham and regardless of what the people may belive those in power will only make laws to consolidate their own gains. Screw them all maybe time to explode the system as it is no longer responsive to the people but only to Big Bussiness.

I have no doubt where most of the money will go. The Chamber is anti-worker and will do anything to keep the worker down so the business owners can make more money on the sweat of the blue collar worker. The Chamber will do anything to keep hourly wages/salary as low as possible and make sure no benefits are available while they make money hand over hand. We have seen it for the past 200 years and more so in the past twenty. May God forgive these vultures their greed and anti-American values. Unfortunately, they will survive while the poor and middle class keep struggling. If there is ever a uprising of the classes they will have only themselves to blame. People can only go so long standing outside looking in.
