5. Nearly every major corporation is a member of the @USChamber
The @USChamber sent a letter on 4/13 warning Senators not to support the For The People Act (S1/HR1), which would protect and enhance voting rights nationwide https://popular.info/p/the-myth-of-the-woke-corporation">https://popular.info/p/the-myt...

6. Note: The Chamber did not send out a broad statement of principles. When businesses want to impact policy, they know how to do it. They are very specific.
And they put $ behind it. The Chamber spends $80 million+ per year to influence federal policy https://popular.info/p/the-myth-of-the-woke-corporation">https://popular.info/p/the-myt...

7. Meanwhile, corporations are still funding the politicians pushing voter suppression legislation across the country.
No company has pledged to divest as a result of these bills attacking voting rights.

8. What Rubio and other Republicans are doing is called "working the refs"
They are pretending they have "gone to far" to dissuade them from going anywhere at all.
