The Chamber's Bill Miller (middle right) briefs reporters on the Chamber's election efforts at the VoteForBusiness Bandwagon launch in Washington D.C.

The second bus in the Chamber's VoteForBusiness Bandwagon rolled out on a 19-day cross-country trip to educate the public on pro-business issues and register voters in a number of key states and congressional districts. National press was on hand for the launch ceremony at U.S. Chamber headquarters in Washington D.C., on August 14.

From there, the 45-foot bus heads to Richmond, Virginia, for the first stop of its 17-state, 3,000 mile tour. The Chamber is teaming up with the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce to hold an event focused on the threat of "card check" legislation, which would strip workers of the right to a private ballot vote in union organizing campaigns.

The other VoteForBusiness bus, Destination Denver, launched in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 8 and has already made stops in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
