Perhaps we can begin to mobilize with this list somehow? One would think many of the members of this committee (and their members) would not want to be linked to highly partisan political activity?

1. Association, Council... these are socialist concepts

It's so ironic that these crony capitalists hide behind such organizations.

10. good catch

!!

"alliance"

And for some reason, major pet peeve of mine, I hate it that they've coopted "international"

:-(

12. Not directly related, but the American Medical Association is also

a member. :crazy: I thought they supported scientific research?

[UrbScotty]

2. Cal Dooley? Wasn't he a Dem congressman from California? (nt)

[flamingdem]

3. The Large Cheeses are probably all repukes nt

[mzmolly]

5. I think we may have to trace the association members back to their

smaller memberships and point out to them that they're contributing to various candidates. They may be aware, but shining a bright light may not be desirable from a business perspective. We'd have to do some digging and then mobilize. Perhaps some DU activists wouldn't mind googling soon? ;)

4. Bookmarked.

We need to target these people one by one. Stand in front of their houses with signs if necessary. These people need to know that criminal behavior has consequences.

7. Save it to your hard drive in case they hide it from public view.

You can never trust evil - and that's exactly what I think of the CoC.

8. good idea

11. .

6. Shall we write to them asking their positions on the issues?

Comment upon Republican attacks upon the President?

Request a response to a Progressive survey?

Ask for their expert opinion on the jobs that corporate America owes us for paying their way?

Solicit their support for Public Campaign finance reform?

Extrapolate how many jobs individual member organizations have off-shored and request verification?

Solicit donations for Progressive candidates in 2012?

. . . I'm pretty sure we can come up with more ideas for how to make use of this information.

[mzmolly]

9. All excellent ideas.

I agree, we can come up with ways to reach these groups. :hi: I plan to do more digging in the near future.

[patrice]

13. Can we look for updates to this idea in the DU Activist group?

I think I know some people who might want to participate.

14. Feel free to start a thread if you like. Or I will soon. I thought we could start by

getting several DU-ers to take a few organizations and research, posting member names and any contact info etc..?
