Public Citizen | Chamber of Commerce - Chamber of Commerce

Chamber of Commerce Watch

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has since 2002 periodically run ads that attack the legal system. The ads, which often coincide with elections, are fraudulent and appear designed to provide fodder for Chamber-supported candidates in competitive races and divert the attention of voters away from the continuing wave of corporate fraud.

Press Release: Enforcement Action Sought in Case Stemming From U.S.Chamber of Commerce’s Covert Funneling of $1.5 Million Into Washington Attorney General Race, Oct. 11, 2005.

Statement by Joan Claybrook: Chamber Should Be Held Accountable for Campaign Operations, Oct. 11, 2005.

Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation

 

Together, two separate corporate entities called Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation, Inc., form Public Citizen. Both entities are part of the same overall organization, and this Web site refers to the two organizations collectively as Public Citizen.

Although the work of the two components overlaps, some activities are done by one component and not the other. The primary distinction is with respect to lobbying activity. Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen’s mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.

You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen’s mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.
