The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has released a series of advertisements targeted at five moderate Democrats it has previously supported. The lobbying organization — which represents over three million American businesses — launched the six-figure campaign to oppose Congressional Democrats’ pending $3.5 trillion social welfare bill.
