TX-ALEC - Bunch of Deceitful, Unresponsive, Arrogant ...


Last week we had this great news out of Texas –
We are pleased to announce that an additional 12 Texas Legislators – 9 Republicans and 3 Democrats – have left and will no longer be a part of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Supposedly – again, I am convinced that most ALEC members are deceitful people and this post again, proves that.

Below is a list of all Texas legislators in ALEC, those not in ALEC, and those who have refused to answer repeated requests of that information from Progress Texas.

Those that have refused requests of that information
Really???
REALLY???
Who in the hell do these legislators work for????  They feel as if they don’t need to respond?
Really???
REALLY???

59 Texas Senators & Representatives
Won't Say if They are in ALEC or Not - all 59 are Republican

Shows you that legislators are still too EMBARRASSED to acknowledge that they belong to a right-wing extremist organization like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Well – I went on to ALEC Exposed and the confirmed ALEC members, serving on ALEC Task Forces on the ALEC Exposed list of Texas legislators -  who are embarrassed to admit they belong to ALEC – those names are bolded in red – that’s an easy find. 
That knocked out a boatload of them – ALL ALEC members.

Then I went to my own post – of names that I compiled from the Common Cause ALEC Task Force meetings in 2010 and those are bolded in Viking Purple.  
That knocked out some more – ALL ALEC members - have to be when they are on a Task Force.
All embarrassed to admit they belong to ALEC 

Then I went to a trusted source for ALEC members on Daily Kos – the people known to be affiliated with ALEC found on that extensive list are bolded in brown.  
That knocked out some more – 
All embarrassed to admit they belong to ALEC

Then I fed each of the remaining names – not too many left – into a Google Search and I have bolded them in blue which includes the link to the site.
That knocked out some more – ALL ALEC members 
All embarrassed to admit they belong to ALEC

Give me more time – I could probably cut that number in half.

Bunch of deceitful, arrogant buttwipes


All tyranny needs to gain a foothold
is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Thomas Jefferson

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
Thomas Jefferson

I hope we shall crush in its birth
the aristocracy of our monied corporations
which dare already to challenge our government
to a trial by strength,
and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Thomas Jefferson
