Jesus Christ and his cause." The NAM also encouraged the creation and propagation of a network of local anti-union organizations, many of which took the name Citizens' Alliance. In October 1903 the local Citizens' Alliance groups were united by a national organization called the Citizens' Industrial Alliance of America. NAM, in the late 1930s, used one of the earliest versions of a modern multi-faceted public relations campaign to promote the benefits of capitalism and to combat the policies of President Roosevelt. NAM made efforts to undermine organized labor in the United States before the New Deal. NAM lobbied successfully for the 1947 Taft–Hartley Act to restrict unions' power. The advent of commercial television led to the NAM's own 15-minute television program, Industry on Parade, which aired from 1950–1960. President Donald Trump addressed the NAM board in 2017. NAM hired several former Trump officials as lobbyists. During the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol building, NAM called for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment of the United States Constitution "to preserve democracy."
