For interested Americans, here is the Petition:-
Tell ALEC Companies to Stand Down!
The tragic Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida has once again drawn attention to the role of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in spreading terrible public policy in the form of “model” bills across the nation.
We are sending letters to the corporate leadership of ALEC, which includes many household names such as State Farm, Johnson and Johnson and McDonalds, to demand that they withdraw their membership from ALEC and do what’s right for our democracy.
By clicking the link below, you’ll be able to send your own letter to the companies. For more information about ALEC corporations, ALEC politicians, and the details of what they are doing behind closed doors go to
