Do you think you have freedom? Do you think
you're governed through the informed consent of the citizenry as the founders
intended? Do you think your state legislator represents you and your neighbors?
Well, do you know that lobbyists from global corporations are voting in secret
along with your Republicon State Legislators across the country on laws to rule
you from your statehouse!? That’s not democracy. That’s not a Republic, it’s a
crassly selfish betrayal of what America is supposed to be.
Here in Wisconsin, State Assemblyman Robin
Vos is the state chair of the lobbyist group the American Legislative Exchange
Council and he is sworn to enact ALEC’s corporate agenda laws, in many cases
nearly word for word from the ALEC draft model legislation. Laws that infringe
on your Constitutional right to seek redress for grievances in a court of law
in front of a jury of your peers. Among other things, these laws are designed
to prevent you from suing a car dealership when they sell you a lemon or when a
landlord (like Robin) decides to keep the security deposit for your college
student’s apartment.
Robin Vos has been bribed with expenses
paid ALEC “scholarships” to be wined and dined in a sunnier clime while being
“educated” in the ALEC way. And Mr. Vos has been using his forked tongue ever
since to sell their secret snake oil sauce on issues like tort reform, free
market fundamentalism, voter fraud, the privilege to pollute and privatization
for the fun and profit of the few. Don’t swallow this venomous brew, don’t even
step in it!
Those ruled in the interests of others are
not free. If you believe in America’s founding principles of freedom and
self-determination, please watch The United States of ALEC documentary by the
respected journalist Bill Moyers: http://www.democracynow.org/2012/9/27/the_united_states_of_alec_bill and demand an end to
this traitorously secret legislative process. Be a patriot, stop Robin the shill who represents global corporations that have no allegiance to you, your city, county, state or even your country. Vote for Democracy!
