Why do I keep associating the anti-sustainability astroturf talking points
with ALEC?
Because ALEC's "our state legislators" were promoting them at Georgia's Capitol.
Two out of three of
the Georgia legislators Jim Galloway named in
Georgia's own 52-minute video on the ‘Agenda 21’ conspiracy,
namely
Chip Rogers and Barry Loudermilk,
are associated with ALEC.
Senate Majority Leader (now former) Chip Rogers (R-21)
has been ALEC's State Chaimran for Georgia and received ALEC's
2011 State Chair of the year Award.
Surely you remember him!
Rogers
sponsored both misleading amendment 1 ("charter schools") and
misleading amendment 2 ("multi-year contracts") on this year's ballot.
Rep. Barry D. Loudermilk (R-14) is on ALEC's
Telecommunications and Information Technology Task Force.
How convenient that Loudermilk is the
Secretary of the Georgia
Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications Committee!
So there is at least a convergence of ALEC's "our state legislators"
and those pushing this anti-sustainability agenda.
This is not surprising, since ALEC is opposed to clean, sustainable energy,
as confirmed by
ALEC's own attempt to rebut that point.
A rebuttal that brought to light ALEC's phrase "our state legislators".
I see Loudermilk is a sponsor of a bill called the
Georgia Government Accountability Act,
