Time to Target your ALEC resignation calls! Posted: 24 Apr 2012 05:55 AM PDT WHAT IS ALEC?** The acronym means American Legislative Exchange Council and what they are exchanging is YOUR rights for their legislation often handwritten by companies and handed directly to legislators without constituents' interests in consideration at all.  Please go to the ALEC FAQ page for more information to make your calls. WHY IS THIS BAD FOR ALL AMERICANS? Through ALEC, Global Corporations Are Scheming to Rewrite YOUR Rights and Boost THEIR Revenue Through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations. In ALEC's own words, corporations have "a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in your state. DO YOU? Contact Sandra Pihos and Kirk Dillard today and ask to speak to them personally. Then please ask them to do as many prominent companies like Pepsi and people like Bill Gates have done...withdraw their support and resign from the board positions today. Sandra Pihos can be reached at her District Office 751 Roosevelt Rd., Bldg.7, Suite 106, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 Phone: 630-858-8855 Kirk Dillard can be reached here: One South Cass Av, Westmont, IL 60559 630-969-0990 or choose someone yourself from this list: FULL LIST OF ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF ALEC **This information is from the Center for Media and Democracy.
