american legislative exchange council it's run by has a large is corporations
and america and they have passed some of the most all yes uh...
bills they're are in the land including uh... heading in to that as a
legislature the bill ten seventy that was against their inside siesta illegal
immigrants but it would have stops of all of the receipt wrecked their papers
and then uh... in florida on the stand your ground law that uh... tourism in
uses that defense these are all written by alec
and then head of the legislators in florida there was one instance where
female legislator forgot
to take alex's name off of the bill that she actually submitted into that
and their legislature
it's really embarrass at chris chris the in new jersey has a number of bills
there were almost where forward written by alec
any of that
thousands of bills all across the country
written by these corporations headed to these guys
uh... that are mainly republicans some democrats as well but
broke overwhelming majority republicans
and in a pastime
and the whole point of course the style corporations get richer and richer at
are expects
uh... one of the things they are pushing for is voter i_d_ loans
now why are they doing that because they think that if they can
make sure that less minorities vote because minorities have
less photo i_d_'s for example twenty five percent after mags in the country
that are eligible to vote
don't happen to have photo i_d_ some of the big cities they don't have cars
they don't media driver's licenses saturn
so you would eliminate a quarter record america's from book the voting rolls
by doing a voter i_d_ law
so they love that because that is more republicans will get elected
and that means that more
probe corporate legislation will pass
well now the democrats retired admin decide to fight back
and they already have some success
within five hours of uh...
organization put together to make to highlight this two point this out
and the challenge corporations to pull out of this
uh... a group
we already have successful co-op has pulled out
annie this statement
artmam-net with alec was folks on efforts so opposed
discriminatory food and beverage taxes
not on issues that have no direct bearing on our business
we have a long-standing policy
of only taking positions on issues
that impact our company
and industry
in other words see u would want to be you
radically ok this is way too much political pressure and i love that
they've done the cv of coke a lot of credit here
they want to manipulate the laws to their advantage weather comes to taxes
et cetera
so it's not like they're doing is out of the goodness of their heart
but basically they're saying well
we don't want to pay this political price
and have maybe cost half of our
clients that you know really really bad will oppose clients
chick just because alec is gone so far to the extreme him i don't know why do
white is alec push those lows well gun manufacturers are are also part of alec
so they want more more guns everywhere
corporations that are out for profit presents are part of allah
so they want more more people arrested rightly or wrongly
and so when you get these this group pushing these extreme right wing uh...
have bills well then everybody has a motley group passing responsibility for
their funding
so that process we don't want to do that anymore
and we found out this morning that actually patsy had beaten them to the
punch
in january pensera report that about
at world a credit for them as well
and it's not just alexander that groups are pulling out of that american
heartland institute is a group that is uh...
drank in manipulate
uh... they're politicians and their and education system et-cetera
to make sure that
climate change is not todd
and a climate change legislation is defeated
well g_m_ just uh... little while ago pull out of our ministers say weaving
climate change israel withing is caused by a man and we have to react to the
market he doesn't mean
blake at serpro dresser and night that he means
we have to make sure that we run a business that some rational and we
develop cars
that or responding to that margot was right it was so cars
so we're gonna live in the reality of this world there were no longer going to
give money to the heartland institute
that's fantastic now
a_t_t_ has pulled out of the heartland institute
they were giving them a hundred thousand dollars
it into your so say hey you know what we believe that there is climate change
and we don't want to ruin our record of being a
environmental from a company
by during this supporting this propaganda group
it doesn't mean that the score bridges of all of sudden turn into swell people
that are
you know just looking to do the best they possibly can for the world
now they're looking out for the best interest that sort of corporations
posted
you gotta learn from this though and see that you can push them in the right
direction if you show i relied on them
color cases but to rethink job of doing that here
in the case of alec and they should definitely go forward any should join
their petitions he should
enjoy any effort
to shine a light on this issue because that's the only way we get these
corporations to pull their money out
