The Velvet Revolution, a coalition of over 100 activist groups, has posted a $200,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Tom Donohue, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce. Citing crimes against health care, financial oversight, campaign finance laws, the environment, the electoral system and the taxpayers, they seek his firing and a criminal investigation into his misdeeds.
"Tom Donahue has never once found a crime that he couldn't justify, as long as it was committed by one of his dues-paying members." - Eliot Spitzer.

Show AllGood, I will contribute to a Cheney fund.
Exactly what this country needs some action with bite.
Or to form a Posse, Comitatus!
YES!
Second!
Excellent ...
If people knew just exactly how evil the USCoC is there would be 100 comments here already. For too long this tool of the corporate mafia has ruled the roost in Washington DC.
With tens of millions of free cash they pillage the Common Good for uber-rich elite corporations and families. Their impact on legislation and their threats to those that would challenge them must come to an end.
Screw'em long and hard, as they have America.
If people knew... yes, and the Chambers of Commerce abroad, too.
A fusilade from the Proles in the Class War?
How many more names will be added to the list? And how soon?
From the poster:
"Tom Donohue has turned the once respected and even-handed Chamber into an extremist organization, bragging that the Chamber gutted the Clinton tobacco settlement, killed the Clinton health care plan, and scuttled previous oversight of Wall Street and the banking system. Now the Chamber is spending tens of millions on ads and lobbyists to stop health care for all, protect polluters from accountability, and shield the financial industry from government regulation."
Great stuff. Come on whistleblowers! Join the cause of freedom!
What a Torture Chamber.
The Banking Chamber of Commerce
A Mafia by any other name.
A bounty huh? Great Idea. As many people who are out of work as are living in tents cities in the US now, somebody ought to take them up on it.
I suppose they've had lawyers look at it and have determined it is legal. If so, perhaps as good citizens, we should make hundreds of thousands of copies of this and hand them out to the hundreds of tent cities springing up all across the land.
What do you think?
How about another bounty for anybody violating the Geneva Convention? BeneDICK Cheney comes to mind...
