Bravo, Mark! Bravo-
Please do the next one on WHY Alec and corporations have plotted for 40 years to "OVERTURN the present power structure of this country." (according to Paul Weyrich,- you'll find their agenda @ http://www.vltp.net/alec/alecs-federal-task-force-HOW TO CHANGE DEMOCRACY FROM WITHIN) and WHY getting off the path of Democracy is leading us down a path toward FASCISM, instead.
Hailing from a WI county where the local Democratic Party gatekeepers refuse to entertain any discussion of holding our less than esteemed POTUS to any sort of small, "d," democratic principles, where the DPW cannot find room for a Progressive or a Labor Caucus under their, "big," umbrella, or where no specific legislative policy initiative goals are being allowed to be spoken of by the supposed, "Democratic Party," candidates, most of whom don't even put the, "D," party label on their campaign advertising, a move to declare independence from a party to get some recognition and attempt wield some influence should have been expected.
After reviewing the SourceWatch list of ALEC corporations, it appears that both State Farm and Farmers are members. I am going to move all my insuarnce (home, fire, earthquake, umbrella, auto) to Allstate. As far as I can tell, that is about the only nonALEC insurance company. For small industries like insurance, package delivery, and phone service maybe someone should make a list of nonALEC alternative sources?
