Yeah, yeah, it’s a lame dick-joke. But considering that the Chamber is full of lame dicks, why not?
The nation's largest business lobby may be much smaller than it appears. A review of archival press releases suggests that the US Chamber of Commerce—which will not disclose the names of its members—has vastly overstated its size in recent years, helping to make its controversial positions on health care and climate change look like a consensus of American businesses.
In testimony before Congress, statements to the press, and on its website, the Chamber claims to represent "3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions." In reality, the number is probably closer to 200,000.

Not to come across as a Star Wars geek, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than the Chamber of Commerce. I’m tickled pink that so many people are starting to take these fuckers on and call them on all the bullshit they spew. In fact, if you were to find a picture of a bull spewing shit out of its ass, you’d have a good portrait of anyone on the Chamber’s board.
