NEWS FLASH
Five More Groups Drop ALEC, Bringing Count To 29 | HP, CVS, BestBuy, Deere, and MillerCoors are the latest companies to join the mass exodus from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The Republican legislation-crafting group has been losing its members ever since scandals blew up over their voter suppression efforts and their push behind the Stand Your Ground Law that originally protected George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin. These five new companies make a total of twenty nine groups to leave ALEC in recent months, as progressive advocacy organizations have urged companies to reconsider their memberships.
