Corporations Learn That ALEC Is Bad for Business

[cecilia]

ALEC is "the voice of corporate special interests in state legislatures" across the country. Whether it's an anti-union, anti-environment, anti-immigrant or anti-consumer issue, ALEC has been busily pushing pre-written, far-right legislation to pro-corporate lawmakers across the country. Those lawmakers, in turn, have been turning bills adopted by ALEC into law -- sometimes even forgetting to remove ALEC's name from the text before it's introduced.

Well, it's good to see the information slowly gets out. Obviously some people still aren't familiar enough with ALEC to recognize it in a thread title but the more sunlight that shine on them the better. When they cheer these laws people often don't realize where they came from nor the fact that they aren't being pushed in the people's interest but in the interests of those who prey on the people.

Just more companies to boycott that drop ALEC.
