REVEALED: Full List Of ALEC’s Corporate Members

[kpete]

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has been under fire lately after the 15 major corporations and organizations pulled their support for the conservative organization, which helps quietly implement corporate-backed legislation in statehouses across the country.
Now, the watchdog advocacy group group Common Cause has released a complete list of corporations on ALEC’s task forces.
Not surprisingly, four of the five major oil companies are members, as are many other energy comanpies. Some houshold names on the list include Johnson & Johson, State Farm insurance, and AT&T. There are lots of major online businesses, including AOL (the parent company of the Huffington Post), eBay, Amazon.com, Yahoo, and Time Warner.
See the full list here.

2. Oh hell, MY employer is on that list!

What to do, and not be viewed as a 'troublemaker'?

3. Damn, that's quite a list.

We need to get a lot more to jump ship

4. A couple of thoughts:

If a person boycotted the ALEC members on the list, that person would save a lot of money.
I see Time Warner, Verizon, Shell Oil, Chevron, Walmart, BofA, others I am sure. Companies I personally pretty much have to deal with.

This list is a good reason to join up with others and support issues of interest to regular, middle class people
