Chamber of Commerce lobbied to have tax payers pay for the B.P. disaster. They

[midnight]

have on their board the man who sponsors the tea baggers: Don Blankenship.
Massey Energy & Don Blankenship: Million-dollar Tea Party sponsors
Here's something else about Don Blankenship and Massey Energy Company: Blankenship spent over $1 million dollars along with other US Chamber buddies like Verizon to sponsor last year's Labor Day Tea Party, also known as the "Friends of America Rally." Here's Massey's pitch. Note how he makes it sound like he isn't one of the corporate enemies of America.

Blankenship and Massey Energy spend millions to defend unsafe workplaces

Even while coal dust settles on nearby schoolchildren, there are lessons to learn from this disaster about Massey Energy in general, and Don Blankenship in particular.


I wonder how many are aware that Chamber of Commerce works as a lobby for profit at the expense of worker safety and those who are impacted by their greed for profit?

2. The average American has more to fear from the US Chamber of Commerce

than from Al Qaeda. More Americans have died because of the Chamber and its assault on worker rights, worker protection, consumer protection, environmental rules etc. than Al Qaeda could ever dream of.

3. Could be convincingly argued the US Chamber of Commerce is far more un-American than al Qaeda

likely ever dreamed of being. :P
