Companies Finally Have Enough of U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Here in Wisconsin, we've seen companies making a hasty exite from Wisconsin Manufacturing and Commerce for its extremist attacks on anyone it disagrees with and its recent purchase of two recently elected Supreme Court Justices.

It's not just happening here, according to this from thinkprogress.org:

Today, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced that it is quitting the Chamber over its “extreme position” on climate change:

"PG&E Corp. (PCG) said Tuesday it is leaving the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over objections to what its top executive called the chamber’s “extreme position on climate change.”

'In a letter to the U.S. Chamber published on PG&E’s blog, www.next100.com, PG& E Chairman and Chief Executive Peter Darbee wrote that company employees “find it dismaying that the Chamber neglects the indisputable fact that a decisive majority of experts have said the data on global warming are compelling and point to a threat that cannot be ignored.”
