But I think its time to start looking for a new behind the scenes group that all these corporate groups start funding. ALEC has been exposed, its now a known player, taking heat and maybe too well known now.

Cockroaches always scurry for the dark. Much as I would love to believe coke and Pepsi and kraft have seen the light, I just don't.
