Firms break with U.S. chamber

A small group of Minnesota businesses broke ranks Wednesday with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, saying they believe climate change legislation will help U.S. companies be more competitive instead of hurt them.

In unrelated news, more than 3 million other companies stick with Chamber.

A handful of companies with they're hands in the Global Warming Hoax cookie jar... Imagine that!

I say remember who they are and boycott they're products... I know I'm going to make sure they're names get out to my contacts and friends.

now this is ominous. this is the advent of corporate fascism. these businesses are fearful of what the state (read:Obama) will do to them if they don't knuckle under. the thinking is, better get in bed with the government now or else. of course they are wrong. it's like the pacifists who hope that by appeasing the barbarians they'll be eaten last.

tireplus sucks anyway- they break more than they fix on cars I used to take there---worse than Best Buy and their "extended warranty" scams

Or they're trying to pander to the less than bright average citizen who has bought in hook line and sinker to the leftist view of the issue.

Tom Gegax and the Aveda people are big-time democrat donors and activists. They simply don't want to alienate their leftie friends and be taken off the swell party invite lists.

The others are simply taking advantage of the "green" marketplace using P.T. Barnum's theory.

They'll get what they deserve when a consumer calls the BBB for a report on them.
