I've known of ALEC for years, and found out about ACCE a short time ago. What I knew was ALEC makes a lot of our legislation through their pawns the GOP. What I learned is those GOP pawns are products of their success with ACCE. ACCE takes over your state, your local and municipal governance. You've lost while sleeping, before even awakening to the dawn of the GOP blitzkrieg and their dominance over us, we've lost it all for years, if not decades. You need to understand that the GOP run a majority of states, and run unopposed in a majority of local and municipal elections. There is nothing you or I can do to stem this tide of destruction. The Progressive movement, led by blind and inefficient leaders has been led to its slaughter. We face the demise of so much, while these traitors to an America we thought seemed assured has become lost.
The next phase of our acceptance of loss must be to watch the leadership of Progressives look for methods that could alter, distract, or hold the line against the final take over. I found through searching Google one program that has held for a few months now. It's called SiX or State Innovation Exchange. It's design is to counter ALEC. Where it will fail is there's no answer to ACCE. ACCE is the reason ALEC has won, or rather ACCE has won. They've created the base of leaders they need to redraw districts at local and state levels. Those last were to ensure their victories for the next decade. We can't respond until the next U.S. Census when there will be another extensive check of those districts.
I am dismayed that I Googled SiX and their website wasn't among the top hits. I had to enter the whole title to actually find their website.

It's ludicrous that we're to be led back from the depths of our despair by a group that doesn't have a Google hit presence. Whose running this show? I found an article at HuffPo, but my computer is acting up again, I'm tired and my angst for ALEC and ACCE run to depths you'll not know, (unless you read my posts last night).
If you Progressive Kossacks want to fight ALEC, then fight ACCE and find whose to lead the way. Help me do that. I'm tired, and linking, or putting fancy links up hasn't been exposed to me at Kos yet. I'll get the Html when I've time to look. I really want that silly drag an image deal to work, but I don't have time or patience to try it again.
Show me what Kossacks do to get back our nation from the liars who have taken over! I write about these things because I truly care, I watch, I read, and I write to my Reps, etc...
I sign petitions all the time, but then it's not before me to see results. This SiX group isn't impressing me, do Kossacks have other ideas about SiX?
