“Standing on the Corner in Winslow, Arizona,” progressive political writer/author John Nichols told a gathering of progressive Democrats that the evil ALEC Crow Laws are behind the current political obsession with austerity, the financial transaction tax, and the immorality of childhood hunger in the richest nation in the world.
Nichols addressed the national leaders of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) during Feb. 2012 in Winslow, Arizona.

Nichols discussed Progressive Democrats of America’s efforts to end the wars, healthcare not warfare, accountability, wall street, reform, taxing the wealthy and corporations, and more on the eve of the Iowa Caucus.
The following three videos are by Pamela Powers Hannley (whom we thank):
The day before the Arizona Presidential primary on February 28, 2012, author John Nichols compared the qualifications of the four Republican Presidential candidates: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul.
Nichols was speaking to a Tucson, AZ audience of unionists, progressives, and Occupiers.
“The Nation” journalist John Nichols is a “pioneering political blogger” who “has written the Beat since 1999.”
His posts have been circulated around the world and flow throughout the blogosphere.
Nichols covers “breaking news and analysis of politics, the economy and activism.”

The Southernization of America: Evil ALEC laws patterned after Jim Crow thinking that are attacking Democratic voters, union workers, low-income people, women and others that corporate America wants to control using laws modeled by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
Progressive Democrats of America PowerPoint:
The Southernization of America
How Right to Work, Personhood and Voter Suppression are the New ALEC (Jim) Crow laws.
ALEC Crow Laws for all low-income Americans are like Jim Crow Laws that targeted “Negros” across the south
Laws that inhibit minority voting – and stop public protesting:
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) – the original architects of evil ALEC Crow Laws:
America’s mega-wealthy – who are not satisfied with just controlling and running the lives of millions of low-income U.S. residents – now they’re passing laws to micro-manage and destroy their fellow citizens.

Center for Media and Democracy released 800 ALEC crafted bills:
ALEC Legislation is from the “corporate playbook and drafted by the American Legislative Exchange Council” whose members includes “both state lawmakers and corporate executives who gather behind closed doors to discuss and vote on draft legislation.”
ALEC crafts “bills to attack worker rights, to roll back environmental regulations, privatize education, deregulate major industries, and pass voter ID laws.”
Thanks to ALEC, at least a dozen states have recently adopted a nearly identical resolution asking Congress to compel the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to stop regulating carbon emissions.

ALEC Crow and Jim Crow make good bedfellows.
The Jim Crow laws were state and local segregation laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965 in the old Confederacy to separate blacks and whites – including segregated public schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks.
Wikipedia:
Jim Crow Laws were separate from the 1800–1866 Black Codes, which had previously restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans.
The origin of the phrase “Jim Crow” has often been attributed to “Jump Jim Crow“, a song-and-dance caricature of blacks performed by white actor Thomas D. Rice in blackface, which first surfaced in 1832 and was used to satirize Andrew Jackson‘s populist policies.
“Jim Crow” became a pejorative expression meaning “Negro” by 1838.
Racial segregation laws (aka Jim Crow laws) – directed against blacks – were enacted at the end of the 19th century.
