WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The StopTheChamber.com campaign, www.StopTheChamber.com, today posted a $100,000 reward for hard evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donahue. Mr. Donahue and the Chamber have been publicly accused of criminal activity in complaints filed attorneys and Attorneys General in different states, and also by non-profits such as Citizens for Reform and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Public Citizen.

StopTheChamber.com, a coalition of organizations dedicated to a clean, transparent, honest and accountable government, has asked the Department of Justice to open a criminal RICO investigation into the Chamber's activities. "The Chamber of Commerce, under the leadership of Tom Donahue, has used pay-to-play, opaque, dishonest and unaccountable practices to corrupt all branches of Government and the elections of our representatives," said coalition spokesperson and attorney Kevin Zeese. "We have been investigating the unethical and criminal conduct of Donahue and the Chamber for quite some time and now we are asking more insiders to come forward with documents and other hard evidence to add to our request for a criminal prosecution. The Holder DOJ takes allegations of criminal conduct very seriously and therefore people with information need to know that they will be protected. Our reward is meant to assist both law enforcement authorities and those who make the courageous decision to expose the Chamber's criminal wrongdoing."
