BREAKING: DELL BECOMES 21ST COMPANY TO DROP ALEC | Computer technology giant Dell has decided to drop its membership in the American Legislative Exchange Council, a right-wing corporate front group behind the spread of voter suppression laws and Stand You Ground legislation. According to a letter from Dell’s Principal Social Strategist obtained by ThinkProgress, the company has decided not to renew its membership. Dell is the 21st group to end its relationship with ALEC, but some large corporations remain in the fold, including State Farm and AT&T.

1. So what's the name of the new ALEC that replaces it?

You don't think these clowns have given up do you?

2. It will just morph into something else and they will keep this

as a front that corps are leaving to appease the masses that might follow this that ALEC is going away. Yet, like a cancer, it will continue to spread out of sight, out of mind.

5. Then we must always remain vigilant and if ALEC just changes its' name ala Blackwater/Xe/Academi or

another group/front pops up with the same mission, that should be aggressively exposed and lobbied against as well.

Furthermore if a Company; on the list which has now dropped ALEC takes up and/or supports a new morphed group with the same mission, that company's grace time is over and it will be forever marked.

4. Why do I still suspect these companies are just going to form another

organization just like it with a new name?

6. Why do I suspect they already did?
