How can we get the MSM to take notice of ALEC?

Wherever you see anti-woman, anti-union and/or anti domestic tranquility measures, you can bet that ALEC is involved. RW legislators have outsourced their responsibilities to an organization that propounds the most reactionary policies I have seen in my life. They shouldn't be allowed to sew their retrograde doctrines without exposure. What can we do to shine the light on these refugees from the 19th century?

or saying something outrageous. We actually need to entrap them. That's what republicans do.

It would be a fitting tribute to Andrew Breitbart. We could even call it that!

the Net, but the question got locked. I'm sorry that happened because I think it's important to know what the &*(( is out there so we can stop it.

I wasn't trying to be disruptive, at all.

ALEC = Koch Bros., right?

To expose the Koch Bros would be to expose a lot of this crap that is going around and that is going to hit the fan come summer. The 1% is scared and they will do anything to tear down Obama.

7. That's odd. Why would someone lock your post. I don't get the jury thing.

I do believe you are correct and I wish someone could do something about it.

It is an intermittent discussion. Each segment so far has been interesting but has not contained any information not already posted on DU. I am interested in seeing how far she is willing to go with this.

I would love to see an exposé on 60 minutes, but so far we have had some coverage. My debate s who to watch first, Rachel or the Governor?
