ColorOfChange.org The Guardian broke the news today that the American Legislative Exchange Council is bleeding money after losing more than 60 corporate funders over the past two years - largely in response to our campaign spotlighting ALECs responsibility for discriminatory voter ID and deadly Stand Your Ground laws.

Check out the full article below and let these CEOs know what you think of ALECs latest ploy in the comments.
