The US Chamber of Commerce was thrilled when the US Supreme Court ruled that they could pour millions of dollars into political races, but it still wasn’t enough for the Chamber. Today, they are still fighting to prevent proposals that would force the Chamber and her member companies to disclose publicly who they are throwing money behind if they want to continue receiving government contracts. This is just the latest step in the Chamber’s plan to make our democratic government completely irrelevant and useless. Mike Papantonio talks about the Chamber’s plan, and how to fight back, with Robert Weissman, the president of Public Citizen.

are grateful to Fox and corporate America for believing in free speech and telling them the truth, maybe uninformed Americans need to watch and listen to other news networks
