Looks like we've got another protest coming up!
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a secret society of right-wing lawmakers and other cretins. They coordinate fascist legislation in statehouses from coast to coast. I'll bet you anything they were behind the welfare drug testing and pseudoephedrine bills. In fact, they were behind Arizona's racist S.B. 1070. ALEC is like a shadow legislature that allows only right-wingers to serve.
The tax-exempt ALEC - which is backed by corporate giants - has also tried to repeal consumer protection and anti-pollution laws. In short, ALEC writes much of America's legislation these days - and they do it at secret gatherings.
ALEC-allied thugs have also tried to intimidate critics. When one historian investigated ALEC on his blog, the Wisconsin Republican Party tried harassing him with bogus FOIA requests.
Next week, ALEC is conducting what it calls its Spring Task Force Summit. Guess what city it's going to be held in? Why, they're coming to the city that now seems to be America's convention leader: Cincinnati, of course.
Welp, they really stepped in it, didn't they?
According to ALEC's stupid website, their summit is going to be on April 28-29 (Thursday and Friday) at Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. It's going to include lawmakers from all over the country - traveling at taxpayer expense. And folks are already planning a protest against the little dictators who comprise ALEC:

The protest against ALEC is scheduled for noon on April 29 (Friday) on Fountain Square - rain, snow, or shine! Health permitting, I hope to be there!

Do you just call everyone you don't like a fascist? You don't even know what that means.

It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else."

I think you're a fascist. You think that the government should run everything. You think that private corporations are evil and must be supressed by the state.
