Join the #NotMyChamber flash mob. Help advance democracy in the American workplace. http://americanrightsatwork.org

Here’s what the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been up to in just the past couple weeks:

1. Flying 250 CEOs to DC to lobby against workers’ rights and the Employee Free Choice Act.(1)

2. Spending $7 million to defeat President Obama’s healthcare reform bill – with plans to spend millions more.(2)

3. Preparing a $3 million ad blitz to lobby against financial reform – funded by, you guessed it: bailed out banks.(3)

But this is just a warm-up. According to The Washington Post, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is “gearing up to play a major role in this year’s midterm elections on a scale to rival the nation’s two main political parties,” spending at least $50 million on races around the country. You’ve got to read the article!

Once you’ve read the article, help us build a movement to make sure our leaders ignore the Chamber’s out-of-touch campaigns. Tweet to add your name to our “Not My Chamber” pledge. Then, keep sending #NotMyChamber tweets!

Here are some examples:

re: @araw’s “twitter flash mob.” Are we to be surprised that folks who support coercion in union organizing don’t support us? #efcafail
