Expedia: Stop Funding ALEC's Anti-Democracy Agenda
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is responsible for some of the most anti-worker, anti-democratic policies in the country, including "right to work" laws that depress wages and voter suppression laws that keep voters from the polls. As a corporate member, Expedia helps fund ALEC's activities.

Why is this important?
On September 26, 2014, The Guardian reported that Expedia, the world's largest online travel company has paid thousands of dollars to ALEC as part of their corporate membership. Expedia sits on ALEC's "Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force," which has developed bills that shift the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class.
