"Get board [sic] and wander off" sounds like "There's nothing to see here, folks." But "STFU" strongly suggests just the opposite. So we're not going wander off or STFU. Sorry.
The only way to compete with buying influence is with an organized counter-movement that works BETWEEN elections. We need an easier, more robust way to participate, solve problems, and hold politicians accountable. www.at10us.com
Dear Rep. Ulery:
With all due respect, it is your description that is misleading and specious.
The focus of the bill is plainly on repealing state commitments to invest in and rely on renewable energy to meet a portion of the energy needs of a state's citizens. The obvious beneficiary of "repeal[ing] the renewable energy mandate" is the fossil fuel industry, which has been given numerous "competitive advantages" through government subsidies over many years.
In publicly available documents, you have been identified as a State Chairman for ALEC for New Hampshire.
Under ALEC's public bylaws, you have a "duty" to advance ALEC's legislative agenda in your home state.
Your public record in the statehouse demonstrates that you have done so repeatedly, on numerous measures that hurt the rights of Granite state citizens and advance the agenda of ALEC's private sector members.
You have also attended ALEC meetings at taxpayer expense, meetings where such bills are crafted and promoted to be introduced and made into law.
It is thus not surprising to see that you are attempting to defend this particular ALEC bill.
If your opposition to "unfair competitive advantages" were a matter of principle, you would be on record supporting a repeal of the $4 billion dollars in subsidies to the oil industry, an industry whose top three U.S. companies had a combined profit of over $80 billion last year alone.
A public records check reveals your silence on that matter.
Thank you, however, for sharing your claim with us.
