It should come as no surprise the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (CoC) would join hands with leftist democrats & begin withholding financial support for congressional representatives who supported President Trump. You might remember in August of 2020 when the CoC admitted to supporting far-left democrats in the 2020 election cycle.
WASHINGTON DC – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the powerful
pro-business[multinational] lobbying group, said Tuesday it will halt political contributions to certain lawmakers following the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last week.“There are some members that by their actions will have forfeited the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Period, full stop,” Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the Chamber, said in a press conference.
[…] “It’s also a mistake not to recognize the elected officials who really stood up in very trying and difficult circumstances and we’re going to continue to operate a program that supports them and helps them in our efforts to lead our country,” he said. (read more)
“There are some members that by their actions will have forfeited the support of the people of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce. Period, full stop,” Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the Chamber, said in a press conference.There, fixed it for him.
The Dynamic Duo.
Sundance exposes them, President Trump makes them out themselves.
We need of list of local CoC members. I will withhold my business going forward, modest though it be.
Freedom,
While I’m not sure just how closely connected the national organization is to the local chapters, but one would think that EVERY business person (and AMERICAN) would understand the dangers of “cancel culture”.
Your local Chamber of Commerce members are likely a far different animal. Please research the organization and how it works.
If CoC is structured like may organizations, don’t they take a piece of the pie from each local? So local memberships feed the national organization.
Their business model is patterned off the mafia!
Yes and no to me, they seem more local but still conform and promote big business over main street.
My own personal experience, leaders are progressive social justice warriors and very political.
Correct. Our local chamber of commerce does not like nor often support the opinion of the national or state chamber. We tell our local members that we do not agree with a lot of what the national chamber supports. But locally, we are the voice of the small business owner in our area.
Of course. And this is where small business owners need to make a stand. On the local level, it can be a great way to connect and organize against a Dem leadership at the state level.
On my local chamber of commerce, members are all publicly listed.
Yes, they are. The many years I ran a small business (in a conservative area), I was an active Chamber member and served on a vital committee. We advocated for things which supported small business.
Our goals and objectives certainly did not match those of the Nat’l organization. All politics starts local.
That’s like saying my local Communist party isn’t on board with the nuclear secret stealing Rosenbergs
Well, now you are supporting the Rosenbergs like it or not
That organization is now corrupt, start a MeWe group for America loving small business in each town and we can build support there
The COC has been supporting slave labor for over a decade now, destroying you
Maybe most local organizations will loudly divorce themselves from the national gestapo, I mean organization.
PJ- you have been knocking them out of the park today.
What is wrong with some of these people? They have no idea how things work. I feel like my IQ is dropping, just from reading some of these posts. 🙁
Hang in there, PJ.
JUST,….hang in there!
How do you think the O’Donahue gets all the money to back stab the American public?
I was forced to pay union dues, we could go “fair share” which didn’t amount to much monthly out-of-pocket savings. We were forced to pay the IAFF every month. They lobbied for stuff that we didn’t want (the firefighters actually running calls everyday). I’ll never forget looking at the IAFF newsletter during the 2009/2010 financial crisis when we were all taking paying cuts and our department’s budgets were being impacted. Not a single IAFF line item was reduced Htheir income was fixed off our dues) and the IAFF President made around 300,000 a year and had about 10ish VP’s that made 210,000+
Businesses can CHOOSE to not support the Chamber of Commerce, firefighters, police officers and other forced union members don’t get a choice.
As an ex CoC member I totally agree, my past banker but still good friend hated them.
We need to block contact every one and tell them why we will never spend another dime there
They will be destroyed by China if they don’t band together in a new real Chamber of Commerce, bribed traitors must go
For every local business you boycott because they’re a member of their local chapter, promise me this:
You will also research whether they are on FakeBook. Many small businesses use that as their primary source for communications, ad specials, etc.
You said it.
Fakebook is not a necessary option for success.
PJ- please don’t blame small business owners for using FB to advertise locally. There is no more print media, no more Pennysaver, no more town newspapers. FB is still one of the only cheap places to advertise where you can reach the people you need to attract.
Sorry. I was looking at a boat and the dealer is doing a virtual open house through FB. My business is going elsewhere.
I keep asking for caution with the blankets “no amazon”, “no fakebook” “no ebay” etc. We have to be prudent. Many of OUR people use these tools for their businesses – they don’t have any easy way out at this point. The left operates on anger, hatred, envy, bitterness and Godlessness. We don’t want to be them.
And before anyone insults me, I am not saying we should ignore what they are doing. Godliness. Prudence. Faith. Hope. Justice. Patience. Joy.
The bottom line is that blanket approaches are always unwise. Every person, every business, every politician, is an individual.
It always pays off to examine them at a granular level to determine whether they are friend or foe and whether you want to support or avoid them.
Sometimes the blanket approach turns out to be right. But I like to be sure.
I like that comment best of all here. INDIVIDUAL inalienable rights.
No offense, but this is why we lose.
Amazon: we are pulling the plug on your entire platform without notice.
Conservatives: let’s not be hasty. We need Amazon.
They don’t need us.
The BORDER IS OPEN!
We are history.
Agreed but I will let them know why they will not be getting my business.
It will be a badge of honor for some, but I fear too few.
Bolshevik takeover. We’re all Russians now. Pray like your lives depend on it.
Prayer does nothing.
Jake,
You may not believe in God, but God believes in you.
God believes in Hell too.
Prove it.
Only for the soulless.
The power of prayer is huge! God hears us.
God helps those who help themselves. God was with George Washington when he crossed the Potomac and won Trenton. This reminds me of a story about a man stranded on the island. He prayed for God to rescue him. A boat came by the next day. The man said, “No thanks, God will save me.” A few days passed and a helicopter landed on the island. The man said, “No thanks, God is coming to save me.” The man, running out of provisions was now near death. A sea plane landed. The dying man said, “No thanks, God is coming to rescue me.” The man soon died and went through the pearly gates and met God. He said, “God, I asked you to come and save me and you never came. Why did you let me die?” God answered, “I sent you a boat, a helicopter, and a seaplane you dummy!”
And I’ll be withholding my support from them also . Let’s see who lasts longer
Chamber of Commerce??? Sounds more like an ECHO Chamber.
Welcome to the SEDITION LIST.
I call COC the Chamber of Horrors.
That Donohue blood-bag just REEKS EVIL!
I actually checked for a tail.
A pointy tail like the devil.
Since when did the Chamber of China support American businesses anyway?
Chamber of China. I love that!
I’m done voting Republican. At this point, does it matter what letter is beside the name? They are one and the same.
It was a big consideration when I changed to my states version of Independent -no party -online on Jan 7th.
Easy to know who to target…just pull up the voter rolls.
Our whole family changed voter registration.
No reason to suffer for being a republican. If the republicans don’t represent me, then why am I a member?
Well, we’re not anymore.
Here is the internet link to change your voter registration. It takes about ten minutes.
https://www.usa.gov/change-voter-registration
They should replace the “R” and “D” with CPA – Communist Party of America.
I have never been registered as a Republican or Democrat. We don’t have to choose one when we register to vote. No party affiliation at all for me, ever. I would not even register for whatever party Trump might start.
The criminals will just flip the vote the way they want anyway in this Potemkin country. We can a least thank DJT for exposing this top to bottom fraud gov owned by China. Treason from top to bottom.
So this is what I have noticed, the presidency doesn’t rule our nation. Congress does. But who rules them each and every day the players (the ones the bought our government) are coming out to roost.
They are all puppets–oligarchy rules from behind the scenes.
Global corporations, global banks, globalist billionaires (Soros, Gates, Buffett), and foreign nations (China) . . . they own our Congress.
And the members of Congress retire rich.
The Clintons have half a billion dollars.
Look at the mansions where these people live.
They “represent the people” — what a joke.
They neither write nor read the laws that they pass. Biden won’t read the laws either. He only has to mark an “X” on the signature line.
Separating the wheat and chaff.
Right now just bringing the chaff for more people to see.
So many posts now, mirroring what I was posting, a year ago, lol.
Warms my heart to see people waking up,…but would rather be wrong,…
So, very mixed feelings.
One thought, right now.
Take it or not, free advice so worth about what you pay for it.
Don’t vent your anger at the useful idiots who voted for Biden.
They are just the still deluded, thats all.
A year ago, 3 or 6 months ago, a lot of commenters were disputing my assertion re: Republicons.
5 or 10 years ago, you didn’t know what you know, now.
Point is, THEY are not the enemy. So, don’t vent your anger at them, THEY are NOT “The ENEMY”, just the still deluded, and YOU are unlikely to make them red pill.
Whether a relative you still (barely) communicate with, like my sister, or some stranger you encounter in Public, wearing their face diaper, smile a genuine smile, and remain courteous; it FREAKS them OUT!
Its along the lines of “never let them see you sweat”. And who knows, you acting so contrary to what they have been given to expect, MAY just cause them to question the artificial construct they are living in.
Argueing with them, venting AT them, certainly won’t.
A THOUGHT, to keep in your head, but DON’T SAY (like Barney Fife with the bullet in his pocket);
“I am smiling because now its ALL ON YOU.
YOU have Senate, House AND WH. So, when it all goes to crap, you can’t blame Trump, you can’t blame those who voted for Trump; its ALL on YOU!”
To reiterate, you THINK it, smile a big, genuine smile, and tell them things are “Fine”.
Anyway, thats all I got,..
I agree with you, but I would trade deluded for misinformed. Those who for whatever reason do not consume anything but MSM do not realize what has happened. They have a polar opposite view of who Trump is because they lack information.
Twelve years ago, when the first Obama insanity hit the fan, that might have applied.
Too much has happened since. Like it or not, they have been brainwashed, and are part of the cult. They are deluded is the nicest way to put it, and even that is bending over backward to be conciliatory.
It is like 1938, when Germany was hell-bent to subdue the world. It has gone too far…again.
Dude, they will still find a way to blame Trump 24/7. I don’t know how DJT is going to survive once out of office. As we now can see, there is no law and order, only royal decrees. D.C. is just an infestation of parasitic criminal maggots. I knew they were corrupt but their desperation to get rid of DJT made them all drop their facades. How dare the president give the people a few crumbs. 4 years of never-ending slobbering hate in the lamestream media. They are my contrarian indicator. Never seen anything like this in my lifetime. Shocking, very shocking.
If any members of congress still deserve your contributions send them directly to them.
Sounds like Mssrs Donahue and Bradley are grumpy cats since they shut down Epstein’s island…
How about we hold our taxes back from this administration. We can. And maybe ask for a yr. Extention. We can show our support, our way. I am going to be in touch with kerry my tax lady !!!
We can play !!!
We always knew to CoC Republicans sold out a long time ago.
This should make it easy for pelosi’s impeachment to go through the house and senate ?
Exactly. I say impeach him – go ahead he wasn’t running again at 78 and it won’t lose him any support. I think it will make his supporters love him more. Apparently, if they impeach him it takes away his Presidential Library, SS, and stipend.
It will also make it crystal clear that there is no point to voting Republican ever again. You can’t cheat every seat – especially when you have to come up with that many fraudulent votes.
The house can impeach, but it is the senate that can remove him. Think of the house impeachment as an indictment and the senate holds the trial to determine if he is guilty and should be removed.
So the man who worked for free for four years needs givermint social security? Stipend? Presidential Library? Meaningless tripe I’d say…
If we could get them to stop bribing everyone else we would have a chance to clean this country up.
This is GREAT!
All RINOs will have a list of corporation and Lobbyist as their only donors. Because we are out.
Donations are public.. Please move forward with your plan. We can donate to OUR chosen candidate and the list of donors donating $20, $50 will be looooooong.
Yeah, let’s play that game. I’m in.
To those who supported our President, we have your back!
President Trump, God love him!
George Carlin – It’s a big club and you ain’t in it – YouTube
Always a big Carlin fan and that was one of his best, truth thru humor another thing lost because of the left.
Should watch his video regarding voting, it’s great and more truthful than you think, Warning, language is rough.
To strangle all dissent does not entice unity, nor does it assuage fears of authoritarianism, it unveils authoritarianism. To compel a man will never produce love and devotion to a cause. It will foster resentment, disloyalty, and revolt. To compel a man is not hard. It requires a whip, a baton, a gun, or some other object of torment. To recognize a mans freedom of thought, action, and believe, is hardest of all, because it opens the possibility that you may be wrong.
I say good, maybe they won’t vote for stupid bills anymore. Even if it’s a few, it’s a start.
I have no words that can adequately express my disgust.
Government of the special interests, by the special interests, for the special interests. That’s what we got folks. The founders are turning over in their graves. Sad situation.
We need a list of our core issues that a politician must endorse in order to earn our money and votes.
Against CoC would be one. Budgets passed separately and on time. True serious reform of 3 letter agencies. Severe restrictions on lobbying. Term limits.
Am I on the right track?
Yes. And if they don’t deliver out they go.
They walk among us.
Was that the CPP Chamber of Commerce or the US Chamber of Commerce that came out with that B.S.?
The solution to this is call those representatives that stood up to this and let them know you have their back. Make a donation (direct – no pacs) to their re-election campaigns. Then blow up the phones at the national CoC.
Call your local CoC and (be nice) express your displeasure with the national organization and demand they distance themselves from the national group.
folks it’s gonna take us a minute to get our footing and find some leadership. But we’re are going to war with these people. They do not know what “woke” means but they’re about to find out.
Yamamoto’s words to Hirohito echo
Call businesses too. Tell them if they stay with the COC you will not shop there
Look. Any local business who goes to these meetings . . . they know the other members.
How hard is it to drop membership and start their OWN organization and meet for donuts once a month?
This Just In: The Communist Party of the People’s Republic of China will cease funding any member of Congress or the state legislatures who supported President Donald Trump’s effort to collect & present evidence that the 2020 Presidential Election was gamed to ensure the election of Joe Biden.
Boy, that’s a big surprise.
When they realize we are not there to donate and vote for them they will be shocked.
They need to keep their election stealing hidden. So they need at least the impression that we are there and then they can add the necessary votes to get the results they want. When they realize their guy will have to run as a major corporation sponsored candidate versus a candidate backed by small donors. It will look as bad as it gets. Good luck stealing.
Yes. Much of their power comes from the illusion of legitimacy.
That’s why they work so hard to get out the vote.
They want you to BELIEVE you have a voice.
You don’t have a voice. You don’t even have a vote that’s counted.
But your vote gives them legitimacy.
Only people who know they are oppressed will struggle.
Well, I see the oppression, and I’m not happy.
I prefer my candidates not backed by the CoC and major corporations.
add a new reason for the Chamber to donate to this Rat.. with a big R
“Rep. John Katko is the first Republican to say he’ll vote to impeach President Donald Trump following the deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.”
So they are providing us a list at this point those not supported need to be looked at but might have my support.
Exactly, They are so out of touch is funny.
Is that supposed to be a threat? Lol.
Good gawd these swamp bastards are so out of touch.
Let’s all vote for the guy NOT backed by CoC.
Lol, new rules.
We’re going to have to make everyone uncomfortable becoming a part of the Chamber of Commerce
These are supposedly SMALL businesses
OK I’m going to support you but NOT if you support the CCP and Bribed-en over Trump and the people
Stay in the Chamber and get destroyed
Globalists have reps, don’t need more
Many members in local chambers of commerce don’t know that they are supporting the national organization.
It’s time to ask them. Do they know the goals of the organization of which they are a member?
The CoC can hide no longer, they represent the same interests as big tech. President Trump truly is the only one fighting for us.
Easy to see why Mitch is in favor of impeachment now
Thank you Sundance for writing and teaching us about the corrupt COC. And your many articles that educated us.
Because of you…many of us are just surprised at this move. Maybe shocked at how quickly they would play their hand. But over all not surprised.
We have known that they are corrupt thanks to you!
To the FBI swamp cowards who lurk around here monitoring us, could you please reach out to these tone death swamp imbeciles and tell them we think the CoC is *THE* problem in DC?
This is embarrassing for them.
The FBI is the gestapo for the globalist corporations.
But they think they’re in it for the social justice!
Hilarious! Idiots!
Gosh, I think we got ourselves the making of a new party. They don’t want 80M voters, and we don’t want China dominating our country. It’s a win-win.
“In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.”
I hope that we can all lay aside our differences. I hope that we can all unite in a common cause. The cause of peace, of liberty, of prosperity, and of freedom. For our wives, our children, and most of all, for our God, who has give us this life to do good and not evil.
Any among us who harbor hatred and violence, may we be the ones to repent, to change, and allow the Spirit of our God to bring us peace and resolve to resits all forms of evil and put it off from us. For if not us, then who there be to show the evil actors the way?
And after all that we can do civilly, legally, rightly, and morally in first our own homes, then our neighborhoods, and then our communities, and then our states; After we have resolved from the ground up to act for the good we proclaim, those who have made themselves enemies to God and ourselves, and they remain to curse us, and to grind our faces, and to mock us, and to kill us…
Then will be the time to look for God to act for us, whether by inspiring us in our own defense, or whatever deliverance He pronounces upon us. But we cannot have murder in our hearts. We cannot have impulse to do violence in our souls, especially before we have done ALL that we can do. First in our homes, then in our neighborhoods, then in our communities, then in our states. We have not exhausted all options. Many of us have done little more then vote for President, while many among us have not so much as done that, we are better then those who have made themselves our enemies.
If we are truly the children of our God, let us prove it by our actions. In our homes, then our neighborhoods, then our communities, then our states. It all starts at home.
And if the dreaded day ever comes that we must defend our families from those who would do us harm, let us go forward with this banner written upon our hearts and consciences.
“In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.”
What I have said I have said. I say it publicly, by the spirit and power of the spirit of God. That it may be worthy of being said and done in the name of Jesus Christ. So be it.

If I could do what I wanted with Tom Donahue, he’d be wearing his ass for a turtleneck
Here’s what we need to know. Who do these swamp imbeciles hate the most?
That’s my guy!
Exactly what do Republicans think they gain by abandoning Donald Trump, and all his supporters?
Mitch McConnell, and other elderly Republicans, say Apres Moi, le Deluge. Only the next few years matter.
Mitt Romney is too good for either party. He doesn’t surrender, don’t you know, he’s oh so bipartisan.
Murkowski, and many others, would switch parties at the drop of a hat.
Miss Lindsey would be a Republican Mondays and Wednesdays, a Democrat Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fridays he takes his mother for tea.
“

???
He’s a pitcher some days and a catcher other days, as I understand those terms.
“Exactly what do Republicans think they gain by abandoning Donald Trump, and all his supporters?”
THAT has been my question since October 2016. When you get the answer let me know.
Remember that sundance said they prefer being in the minority. They can grandstand and golf. Controlled opposition is their favorite thing.
Bannon mentioned the very same words “controlled opposition” today (they also use the term UniParty on the war room show).
He also said something I had not realized. Communist China has five controlled-opposition parties. They are nothing but ceremonial, though I presume their members live higher than the average peasant.
Exactly what do Republicans think they gain by abandoning Donald Trump, and all his supporters?
————–
Money.
That’s what they gain.
Payoffs, fancy jobs for their children, vacations.
They get money.
And they don’t need our votes.
And they assume we aren’t watching them because we never were before.
Off Topic— but— MAJOR Blackout in Iran.
good time to destroy the mullahs
Wonder why?
Sundance, is there a site that will list those in office receiving financial support from the CoC
OpenSecrets tracks lobbyist money etc …
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/us-chamber-of-commerce/recipients?id=D000019798
They are supposedly non-partisan. Founded by Frank Church (of Church Committee fame) and Hugh Scott after they retired.
Thank you so much for this list!
I scanned it over coffee today and it was an eye-opener.
Not bothering to list traitors who were known. We already knew about Mitch McChina who is the biggest recipient on this list, Collins, the two GA losers, McCarthy, and so on.
But here are the newer names that struck me because I think, based on Presidential endorsements, I gave small amounts to each:
James – 10K
Stefanik – 7.4K
Van Duyne – 5.1K
Tuberville – 5K
Salazar – 3.5K
Van Drew – 2.5K
Zeldin – 2.5K
Cawthorn – 1.5K
They can fund GOP. We are voting independent.
The Chamberpot of Commerce.
Throwing the President under the bus for the chamber of Commerce is something we will not forget. Mao Mitch has gone too far now.
He just got reelected to a 6 year term. He could care less about what we won’t forget.
Mitch went too far, a looong time ago, just hardly anyone noticed.
He did his dirtiest deeds by inaction, rather than action, by stealth rather than frontal attack.
Called the “turtle” cause he always knew when to pull his head in, so as not to reveal his true nature.
He is “the most feared man in D.C.”; NOT the POTUS. And notice how many, even Dems will openly criticise Pelosi, but NO ONE in DC criticises Mitch.
He can ruin a career with one phone call; Nunes, Jordan, Ratcliffe, NONE will publically call him out. Only one I know of, is Ghomert in his op-ed on Mueller.
The only “talking head” to criticise Mitch is Lou Dobbs, everyone else is afraid of him.
I just want them all to die in agony!
That’s about where I am right n ow.
