People are always tweeting for AT&T to DumpALEC.
Unless WE dump AT&T – they aren’t going to budge.
WHY?
AT&T has made a bundle of “bills” – off their membership in the American Legislative Exchange council (ALEC) – but then that is what it is all about – for the Corporate Profit Sector members of ALEC.
Political contributions and lobbying
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, AT&T is the second largest donor to United States political campaigns, and the top American corporate donor, having contributed more than US$47.7 million since 1990, 56% and 44% of which went to Republican and Democratic recipients, respectively. Also, during the period of 1998 to 2010, the company expended US$130 million on lobbying in the United States . A key political issue for AT&T has been the question of which businesses win the right to profit by providing broadband internet access in the United States .
In 2005, AT&T was among 53 entities that contributed the maximum of $250,000 to the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.
American Legislative Exchange Council
Bill Leahy, representing AT&T, sits on the Private Enterprise Board of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Abra Cadabra –
ALEC “model” Legislation:
Look at everything they have already gotten in Wisconsin, as reported at ALEC Exposed.
And when you multiply that by 50
– AT&T has made a bunch of moolah
– AT&T will continue to rake in the big bucks
– off their membership in the American Legislative Exchange council (ALEC) – but then that is what it is all about – for the Corporate Profit Sector members of ALEC.
