The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, one of the top-spending lobbying groups, sent an open letter to President Joe Biden and all Congressmembers, urging them to consider Republican proposals and not let his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan get approved through a simple partisan majority.

“The fastest, most effective way to provide immediate relief to American families and workers who are still reeling from the pandemic is through a strong, bipartisan compromise,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer Neil Bradley said in a statement. The open letter (pdf) was sent in Bradley’s name.
