Weyrich was a religious nut, who would have loved to turn this country into a theocracy.Weyrich also was one of the founders of ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council.I find that group pretty damn unethical.ALEC is very much active today. That's why so many state legislatures have introduced so many similar pieces of legislation in the last couple of years. The laws were written by their corporate masters.But, I'm sure you have no problem with corporations writing legislation. After all, they always have the people's best interest at heart, and not the bottom line, right? Corporations have as much right (non-Constitutional) to try to influence elections as unions, leftist environmental groups, the Socialist Party, lawyers, the, snicker, "affordable housing" business or any Democrat Special Interest, who are just as secretive.Never saw you complain about them.What is "unethical" about Weyrich's actions?I want people to inform themselves, then vote.So would you give them some kind of a test before they could vote?No, but I absolutely don't want government policy encouraging uninformed voters to vote, like Clinton's Motor Voter was meant to do in blatantly partisan manner.As well as being meant to help Democrats commit voter fraud, by making it very difficult for states to clean up voter lists, as states have done routinely for decades.
