I agree with the poster who suggested we thank the companies that have left ALEC.

I myself went to the websites of 5 or 6 of them and sent "thank you" notes, but it would be nice if someone were to configure a way to make it easier to thank more of these corporations at the same time. I myself don't know how to do such a thing, but I've seen it done before elsewhere.

Regardless, if some of you picked 5 or so corporations at random from the list of ex-ALEC members and thanked them, that would be good.

Incidentally, as I understand it, these groups are leaving ALEC because it has strayed from its original purpose (pro-business legislation) to a wider, socially conservative purpose (which includes the suppression of minority, youth, and elderly voting rights). Once this became apparent (a realization augmented by negative PR), corporations began to bolt from what has become a genuinely evil entity.
