How about labels for the candidates who took U.S. Chamber $$$???
Is there some way that one could look up the amounts that each new congressperson took from the Citizens United shadow groups? Then post a series of letters to the editors in each rep's home paper to make sure that everyone knows just how bought and paid for their congressperson now is? For example, the guy who ran against Grayson got a LOT of dough from Citizens United Groups. Wouldn't there be some advantage to making sure everyone knew who really owns those people?

5. I like "maids" because it makes them sound like servants.
Which they are. Servants of the COC. "Chamber pots" just doesn't convey that.

"Chamber servants" would be gender neutral but it's not a common term like "chamber maids".

6. Well, they had to have ONE DINO on their endorsement list so they could pretend they're "bipartisan"
n/t.

7. Traitors.
No matter how often they lie and claim to be working for "The American People"; they really work for multinational and foreign owned corporations.

8. I could be way off target but I believe the U.S. Chamber attack slush funds....
were independently spent and were never directly controlled by any GOP candidates.
