American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Wal-Mart is a member of the ALEC Board, and in 2005 headed the ALEC Task Force that ratified the law that may protect the killer of Trayvon Martin and other unarmed victims. Wal-Mart is also the largest seller of rifles and ammunition in the U.S. Shocking? No. Shocking Wal Mart won't discuss or change? No. It is run my a bunch of ham handed Arkansas crackers.
Corporations thru their front organization ALEC are also drafting model legislation for voter ID laws, thus limiting minority voters ability to vote.
Shame on Wal Mart and on Michelle Malkin for her support of this BS.
ALEC and the Koch brothers would have been on the front page of the Daily Worker newspaper back in the 1950s. The paper would have extolled their efforts to change the face of democracy using the legislative process to benefit corporate America and the 1% at the expense of the 99%.
The bills that are drafted in secret by lobbyists and legislators from around the country and then taken back to the respective states where they are submitted for approval. To my way of thinking this is out and out subversion of our legislative process.
By the way the above mentioned newspaper was the voice of the American Communist Party.
Above you post "Wendy's International sent an email to the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) this morning stating that the fast food chain had decided not to renew their membership at the end of 2011." How can it say this yesterday and 2011 was a few months ago. Is this a typo or does it mean 2012 which means it will be after the Election and rather late I would say. Or does it mean the list of ALEC sponsors is not up to date. That is unsettling though so much is behind closed doors, it is any wonder we can figure out what goes on.
It is Fox (so called) News, ALEC with all its affiliates against the rest of the country.
Why do they beat their chests for "freedom" when they hate the liberals' free thinking ways?
It is the tale of two nations. The grab-all for free without regulations, control or government -Conservatives; and the meek, appeaser, hippie, liberals who only get the trickles.
I really dream of a separate nation from the ones who want to make a living off the shoulders of the middle, and lower classes. The ones who want perpetual war and destruction and a constant drumbeat of Invasion/Occupation. The ones who continue to make this nation the aggressor of the world. For profit; Insatiable hunger for profit. An absolute disregard for other's freedom of choice. A relentless effort to Divide and Conquer, even within. A mis-information/noise machine. A complete absence of facts, but rather a campaign for weapons of mass deception - WMD. The ones who have resisted and continue to resit to be part of a Union - it took a Civil War to wrangle them into it, and still want to secede.
Wow! I'd really hate to go to a nation like that. Worse yet... I hate for that nation to be a part of mine.
One thing for sure... It is Not a United States.
When Malkin gazes at herself lovingly in the mirror I doubt she sees what we all do when we encounter her on the republicanazi foxfake 'news' channel, which is nothing but a corporate whore and the five-letter word for a female dog.
