29. good catch about the Chamber of Commerce
The Chamber of Commerce, along with the Federal Reserve System and a few other quasi-private, quasi-public institutions, are exactly where the corporations and our supposedly democratic government merge - they should always remain the focus of our efforts I think.

Look at the Chamber of Commerce groups around the country - there is at least one in every city in America, sometimes several - they are the ones who coordinate the political influence that corporations buy with campaign contributions, the revolving door between them and government never stops revolving. In many places in the US, the Chamber of Commerce has more power than the local government. Forget the fundies - the Chamber of Commerce is the GOP party's base.
