Labor group launches 'Twitter flash mob' against Chamber
A leading labor group launched on Friday to target the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Twitter.
American
Rights at Work (ARAW), in an email to supporters, will ask backers to
sign a petition and, if possible, post a tweet directed at the Chamber
for the business group's opposition to health reform legislation in
Congress.
The petition drive, set to begin at 10:00 a.m. EST, will ask activists to post the following tweet:
petition @chamberpost: The U.S. #Chamber doesn't represent me. It's Not My Chamber! http://act.ly/1cc RT to sign #p2 #notmychamber
The goal is to create a "Twitter flash mob," a spokesman for ARAW said about the effort on Friday.
The
campaign specifically takes aim at the Chamber's having allegedly tried
to hire economist who would have conducted a study on the effects of
health reform legislation, a study which the business advocacy group's
opponents say would have almost certainly have rendered a negative
verdict on the bills.
