The list of ALEC funders include names of corporations that do business in Wyoming. One of them, BP, brags that Wyoming is the site of its largest onshore oil and gas holdings (Sweetwater and Carbon counties). Not sure why Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) needs to fund an organization that is vehemently anti-union. Perhaps the company's CEOs resent the salaries paid to those who keep the company running. Peabody digs tons of coal from the Powder River Basin and loves the cozy relationship it has with our Republican legislators. Some of the richest members of the Walton Family Foundation live in Wyoming. Union Pacific Railroad -- shame on you. No more black-and-white 1950s TV shows named after you! Encana has huge energy extraction holdings in the state.
That's just the beginning. Thanks to Infinity at Daily Kos for providing the names of ALEC funders. More info at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/08/18/1008120/-ALEC-Boycott!

Thanks for staying on top of this, Mike.
Its almost impossible to avoid doing business with some of these, like the phone company, petroleum (though I always choose my bike over the car in town), And UPS over FedEx, because UPS is union . . .
--n.
I've patronized many of these businesses. Probably will again (damn you Walmart and Visa). But it's helpful to know the names of those companies working against us. What are their motives? Where do their CEOs and board members live?
