Breitbart In Action - Day 26 - Get Involved - Support ALEC


I received an email about supporting ALEC and had no idea what ALEC was.
I Goggled it, and of course, the top 20 or so stories about ALEC were from Liberal sources - stating that ALEC was trying to suppress voters rights and was *behind* the killing of Trayvon Martin because they were advocates of Stand Your Ground Law.
Finally, I discovered a neutral article about ALEC in Forbes: (Link)
ALEC -  American Legislative Exchange Council  was founded in 1973. ALEC is a group of state lawmakers who meet to share and spread conservative policy ideas. ALEC's main focus is fiscal and economic policy, notably at the moment pension and lawsuit reform, tax and spending limitation, and advocates free market policies.
ALEC has come under attack by former White House aide Van Jones and various left-wing activists and media. Van Jones and his tools are bullying big business to cut off ALEC's funding. So much for free and open debate!
Michelle Malkin wrote a great piece on ALEC and the liberal hypocrites trying to shut them down by .


It’s not enough for conservative consumers to avoid cowardly businesses that cave to Van Jones and company. Beating back the anti-ALEC mob means getting ahead of them. Color of Change and its “hundreds” of callers are now pressuring State Farm (tweet them here) and Johnson and Johnson (tweet them here) to join the spineless herd and cut ties to ALEC.
I’ll say it again: Silence is complicity. Speak now or surrender your ground.

Michelle writes that one way to stop the Liberal takeover is to tweet or contact some of the companies that still support ALEC: (link)

The latest company to be attacked by Van Jones and his Color Of Hate Group is Amazon. Please tweet/call/email/or send letter of support to Amazon.
