Who are the witch hunters? The American Legislative Exchange Council.
When Professor William Cronon had the chutzpah to write an op-ed piece on the right-wingers who are behind Governor Scott Walker, the Republican Party tried to intimidate the respected historian by filing a FOIA request for his emails.
Who are these right wingers? They are members of the American Legislative Exchange Council.
Their Education Task Force, which is leading the charge against collective bargaining, is headed by Representative David Casas of Georgia. You can talk to their staff members: Dave Myslinski, Director 202.742.8531 – dmyslinski@alec.org and Monica Mastracco, Legislative Assistant 202.742.8525 – mmastracco@alec.org
Their so-called Civil Justice Task Force, which goes after civil liberties, is led by Public Chair: Senator Bill Seitz (Ohio) and Private Chair: Victor Schwartz; Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. Director: Amy Kjose
(202) 466-3800 Ext. 227 akjose@alec.org

I can save ALEC and the Republican Party the trouble of doing a FOIA on my emails. Ben Velderman already has them.
