The infamous "60 CEOs"

Remember the letter signed by 60 CEOs that had impeccable timing in March 2011?  The letter that was used by the recall camp to fuel their fire and justify their cause?

Now, remember what Tamar Jacoby who formed ImmigrationWorks USA said her ultimate goal was....

....have a grassroots army in place when immigration

 reform comes up again in Washington, ensuring that

next time, there will be the national business presence

 that was missing during the last debate.

She wasn't kidding.

The "CEOs" were all members of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce/Arizona Chamber of Commerce.  Ten percent were members of the COC Board (denoted in red).  Note the candidates whom many have donated to in the past.
