Coke and PepsiCo have left ALEC.

I can't say for sure but it looks ALEC itself (and some of the over reaching) are starting to be radioactive.

We can hope. But realize this leopard will change spots and cornered animals are dangerous.

Yes, some of the talk of uprisings are no longer just in the far corners of right wing land either.

This will be an interesting summer.

Spitzer comment was funny, "best move since they removed New Coke from the market."

"Stand your Ground" laws have been passed in 24 or 26 states, and many states with "red"-ruled legislatures have passed vote-supressing voter ID laws.........

If only these corporations (they're people, my friends) had done a little research regarding what ALEC was about before gifting it with huge donations.

It can be undone. And the SYG laws are right now in cross hairs.
