I am deeply disturbed that Toyota has refused to quit the Chamber of Commerce despite its backwards campaign to defeat the Senate's new climate change bill.

Toyota has long been a leader in producing fuel-efficient cars like the Prius, and many of your customers have been loyal to your brand because of that commitment.

Your statement that Toyota's "association with [the Chamber] does not signify that we agree with all of their policies. It means we are there to have a dialogue and engage in making good policy" is disappointing. This is hardly what I would expect from a company that has built an image as a leader in "green" technology.

The Chamber of Commerce is funded by member companies like Toyota, and could not run such a large campaign against the climate change bill without your support.

I have noticed that many other major corporations (including Apple, Nike, GE, PG&E, and Johnson & Johnson) have quit the Chamber in protest of this ridiculous and dangerous efforts to block clean energy.

For the sake of the planet and your reputation, I hope you will reconsider your stance and resign your membership in the Chamber of Commerce immediately.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
