Two More Corpo-rat-e Members Flee the Sinking ALEC ship!!!

Just as the momentum of advertisers gathered speed, the number of corporations leaving ALEC over their promotion of Shoot First laws and Voter Suppression ID laws is growing.
Two more corporations left ALEC today - Mars candy, and the largest energy corporation in AZ.  Can an organized effort to repeal that extreme and oppressive legislation be far behind?  Finally, the push back appears to have risen up and begun to coordinate.  I expect this to be further sustained by the various legitimately grass roots - as opposed to astro-turfed - populist Occupy movements.
From Think Progress:
Two More Companies — Including Candymaker Mars, Inc. — Sever Ties With ALEC | The American Legislative Exchange Council, a right-wing corporate front group that helped passed “stand your ground” laws and voter suppression initiatives in states across the country, lost two more member companies. In an email sent to Color of Change, a progressive group organizing the petition against ALEC, Mars, Inc., the maker of M&M’s and Snickers, announced that they have “decided not to renew the ALEC membership in 2012.” Arizona’s largest energy company, Arizona Public Service, has severed ties with ALEC as well. Following pressure from progressives, a host of other companies announced they would no longer contribute to ALEC in the past two weeks, including Coca Cola, Pepsi Co, Intuit, Kraft, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Wendy’s.

How ALEC works --- or did before that corporate component began to fracture and disintegrate
