MoveOn.org Starts Petition Asking Enterprise To Cut Ties With A.L.E.C.

ENTERPRISE: DRIVE AWAY FROM ALEC
Live up to your own values of sustainability by cutting all ties immediately with ALEC,
an extreme right-wing lobbying group that denies climate change and blocks climate action.


(Petition Background)

Enterprise, the largest car rental company in the world, was recently revealed by the Center for Media and Democracy and The Guardian to be a dues-paying member of the American Legislative Exchange Council.
ALEC helps right-wing lawmakers fulfill corporate wish-lists on a variety of topics that undermine American health and safety - including spreading climate change denial and blocking climate solutions.
Enterprise makes "green" commitments to plant trees and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in public, but funds ALEC in private.
Enterprise must cut ties with ALEC immediately.
