**This is a press release from the US Chamber's website, commending the SCOTUS for pushing class-action lawsuit plaintiffs out of state courts and forcing them into corporate-friendly federal courts. The SCOTUS has ruled 100% in the US Chamber's favor since the start of Obama's presidency.

Health insurers last year gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce $86.2 million that was used to oppose the health-care overhaul law, according to tax records and people familiar with the donation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated Institute for Legal Reform (ILR) failed to report millions in taxable spending from 2000 to 2004 intended to influence state-level attorney general and supreme court races and federal races around the country, according to a Public Citizen complaint filed today with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce went 14-36 in the 2012 congressional races where it ran political advertisements, rivaling the won-lost record of the 1962 New York Mets.

In this report from U.S. Chamber Watch, most of $32 million spent in the 2010 congressional midterms went to Republicans, who ended up re-taking the House of Representatives and establishing a crushing gridlock that has lasted until the present day. The Chamber only endorsed one candidate for Senate, West Virginia's Joe Manchin, on whom it made no expenditures. Read the full report below:
