U.S. Chamber Watch Demands IRS Investigation into Possible Tax Fraud

As reported by the New York Times, U.S. Chamber Watch is requesting an investigation into a series of transactions initiated around the 2004 elections and continuing to the present day that appear to violate the law. Under the watch of CEO Tom Donohue, the nonprofit National Chamber Foundation appears to have illegally funneled $18 million of charitable funds to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. These millions came from the Starr Foundation, headed by Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, then the head of insurance giant AIG.

Show your support for a prompt and thorough investigation of these apparently illegal activities. Sign the petition below to add your name to the chorus of voices demanding accountability from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its affiliates.

PETITION

The National Chamber Foundation appears to have accepted millions in charitable funds from the AIG-affiliated Starr Foundation, and transferred these tax-free funds to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This is wrong and likely illegal. We don't believe that the face of American business should be a corrupt one. The IRS should investigate immediately into these troubling allegations.
