AT&T Drops ALEC for Hosting Hate Speech [telecom]

Submitted by David Armiak

AT&T, the world's largest telecom company with assets of $446 billion, is no longer a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

AT&T's exit from the corporate bill mill follows Verizon's decision to leave in mid-September, based on ALEC's choice of hatemonger and anti-Muslim David Horowitz to headline a session at its annual meeting in New Orleans promoting the corporate lobby group's radical plan to rewrite the U.S. Constitution.
