(March 10, 2010) CalChamber2010.com, a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind website offering Californians videos and side-by-side comparisons of the gubernatorial candidates’ stance and history on issues most important to the state's economy and job climate, will be streaming live the Republican Primary Gubernatorial Debate on Monday, March 15 at 5:30 p.m.
Visit CalChamber2010.com/debate to watch the two leading Republican candidates for governor, Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, share with Californians their solutions for our future.

California Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Allan Zaremberg will be addressing the audience before the debate.
Created by the CalChamber, this project has one clear goal: educating Californians. This is not a site that advocates for a particular candidate. It lets the user decide. At CalChamber2010.com, visitors can find independently sourced material and video clips that allow the voter to see and hear what the candidates say in their own words.
The site doesn’t deal with social issues; rather, it focuses on issues of critical importance to the state’s economy and job climate. CalChamber2010.com focuses on nine areas: Budget and Spending; Jobs and the Economy; Taxes; Education; Health Care; Environment and Energy; Water; Public Safety; and Housing and Transportation.
The CalChamber is urging readers to share CalChamber2010.com with friends, followers and colleagues on their favorite social network — and ask them to do the same. Easy-to-follow directions on sharing the site are available on the site.
Throughout the campaign season, CalChamber2010.com will continually be updated with breaking developments.
