A few years back there was legislation that actually got printed and sent thru Congress that still had the ALEC letterhead on it. These groups have been writing bills for the GOP for a very longtime.

and since it's striking at the heart of our system of government, it has to be exposed as such.

Plutocrats want to be aristocrats and they wan to hand pick leaders from their own ranks.

We decided nearly two and a half centuries ago that we were done with kings and the class system. Every single Republican jellyfish in the Sentate needs to be bombarded with mail urging them to pas S-1. And every single one of them needs to be targeted if they don't, their opposition well funded so they can be defeated and thrown out of office in favor of someone who will pass it.
