Tell CEOs: Quit the Chamber, join the planet.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is feeling the heat

"We don't have regrets about our position, and we don't intend to change it." That's what the Chamber of Commerce said last week as pressure mounted from member groups to step back from its extremist stand against global warming legislation that would regulate CO2.

Pacific Gas & Electric and two other energy companies have already quit the Chamber over its extreme views on the environment. When some of the biggest energy companies in the world are calling you "dirty," it's time to clean up your act.

But the Chamber of Commerce isn't listening. Even after Apple quit, Chamber CEO Tom Donohue refused to acknowledge that his organization is far out of the mainstream. Instead, he blamed the resignations on an "orchestrated pressure campaign" by environmentalists.

How radical is the Chamber on climate? It's gone so far as to question the science behind global warming and threatened to sue the EPA if it follows through on regulating greenhouse gases.

We can't let this stand. Help us keep the up the momentum and join us in asking every CEO serving on the Chamber of Commerce board to quit the Chamber and renounce its radical stance.

QUIT THE CHAMBER

JOIN THE PLANET

We'll deliver a petition including your signature to every board member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:

"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has taken a radical stance against climate change legislation and is promoting dangerous junk science to block needed reforms. I urge you and your company to denounce the Chamber's extremist position on global warming and revoke your membership effective immediately."

Complete the following to sign the petition. You'll receive periodic updates on offers and activism opportunities.

Tell my Facebook friends about this petition!

Help us put the heat on the members of the board to quit the Chamber of Commerce and join the planet.
