Because I Can: Ben Nelson (NE) is NOT a Democrat - He's ALEC

Because I Can: Ben Nelson (NE) is NOT a Democrat - He's ALEC

Everyone this morning is talking about how Ben Nelson didn't vote for the jobs bill.

Wake up people - the corporations own him! Get over your pissing and moaning - he's a Democrat in name only - philosophically he belongs to the American Legislative Exchange Council party.

He was previously affiliated with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
He was a winner of the most prestigious award ALEC gives - the Thomas Jefferson Freedom award.

Other winners of this prestigious award include: Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney - just to name a few.

In 2006 ALEC did this press release applauding Nelson and Inhofe
WASHINGTON, July 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The American Legislative Exchange Council, the nation's largest nonpartisan membership association of state legislators, today supports Senators' James Inhofe (R-OK) and Ben Nelson's (D-NE) Protection Against United Nations Taxation Act of 2006.
(Inhofe is confirmed ALEC ALUMNI)

In 1995 he was a keynote speaker at an ALEC event
The Free Lance Star – Fredricksburg, VA May 19, 1995
Meeting is Summit on State’s Rights
By Larry O’Dell, Associated Press Writer
RICHMOND – About 325 people, including lawmakers from about 40 states, have convened in Richmond for the American Legislative Exchange Council’s national summit on state sovereignty.
Gov. George Allen, a Republican who has appointed a Virginia task force to study ways to transfer more power from the federal government to the states, will be the keynote speaker at a luncheon today.
Other weekend speakers will include Govs. Fife Symington of Arizona, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Michael Leavitt of Utah. …




ALEC members and those affiliated with ALEC in any manner
MUST NOT BE RE-ELECTED.

Without state and federal legislators ALEC will cease to exist and it will implode.
