ALEC & SLLI – “Bipartisan” Bigotry

[from MNDem999, one of my favorite writers, this article that shows the racism which is rampant within ALEC.  This is important to know about]

There appears to be a dirty little secret lurking in the halls and cocktail parties of the of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) meetings  – overt racism.

…In 2009 The Progressive States Network published a report by the Center for New Community that contained a list of SLLI state representatives.  When reviewing the 2009 SLLI state representatives list of “participating states” representatives – 67% of them were also ALEC members. .

…According to the Center for New Community
Members of State Legislators for Legal Immigration (SLLI) do not operate independently. Each member of SLLI is working hand-in-hand with John Tanton’s (advocate of eugenics) network to misuse the issue of immigration to undermine progressive values.

ALEC members of SLLI are listed in the article.

That should have gotten your interest.  To read the entire diary by MNDem999, please click here
