Don't Be Evil

Google Drops Membership From Conservative ALEC

The bigger issue is, how did Google get in bed with ALEC in the first place?  It's not a close call.

"Last week, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said in an interview with NPR's Diane Rehm that the company was dropping its membership with ALEC, a coalition of corporations and state legislators that works to create and share model legislation in statehouses around the country. Responding to a question from a listener, Schmidt attacked ALEC for helping to sponsor legislation that opposes environmental regulations and "just literally lying" about climate change."
