The inability of the US Senate to pass basic legislation on background checks.
This is not about the filibuster.
This is not about Harry Reid
It is not about RWNJ's
It is not about liberals
This is not about the super-majority needed
This is not about conflicting amendments
This is about the voice of the people being totally ignored.
Think about it -
When was the last time elected government officials - listened to the people.
Think about it -
We use to be a representative government, of, for, by the people.
That has changed folks
It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Independent or a Republican.
It's time to wake up, people - real people, homo-sapiens.
Take the damn blinders off, folks and see what is really happening.
ALEC started this 40 years ago by intentionally bringing corporations into the political process.
ALEC started this 40 years when they told corporations -
"Hell, Yes! Come on in" -
"Write legislation" -
Buy legislators scholarships and our ALEC legislators will take your corporate legislation back to the states and the US Congress to implement - just for the price of a scholarship.
ALEC started this 40 years when they told corporation-
"You - the corporations need more control of the government."
This is not just about the NRA.
This is about Monsanto, Comcast, AT&T and other corporations also.
This is about known ALEC corporate members controlling our government officials at the state and federal level.
This is about known ALEC corporate members controlling the flow of legislation through our state and federal government.
This is about corporate profit.
This is about CORPORATIONS controlling our government.
This is about fascism.

40th Birthday
ALEC will be celebrating their 40th Birthday Party and Annual meeting in Chicago
August 5 - 7.
We need an organizing committee for the peaceful protest / resistance.
The black shirts are already starting to organize for ALEC's birthday party.
I am in Minnesota - and will help as best I can - as will other members from the Daily Kos Abolish ALEC group
I'm willing to travel to Chicago/Milwaukee in April, May, and June - to do multiple ALEC educational sessions (I currently do them in the Metro area) for religious organizations, unions, and other interested groups. I am always available through Kosmail to do ALEC educational sessions.
BUT - we need people to step up
and start the planning process
and organizing multiple groups to work together
and take the reins and be responsible
and organize in Chicago.
(I have one Chicago contact who wants to help.)
Are you that person???
Can you help?
Is there a a group of you that can start working on this?
