Bell: As a military officer, I had so much confidence in whatever the United States military did that it was almost beyond my imagination to think that an investigation was going to go down any other way. It was beyond my imagination. And it took me a while to have my assurances shattered.

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) doesn’t just put corporations before current Americans – they’re actually fighting to make life more difficult for the next generation of citizens by pushing anti-immigration laws across the country.
Again and again, they use pay-to-play politics to stall commonsense reform and divert critical law enforcement resources to unfairly target aspiring Americans. Today, I’m asking for your help to continue this work by contacting your state legislators to demand they stop working with ALEC behind closed doors to put corporate profits before the American Dream.
In state legislatures across our country, millions have worked to pass reform that gives aspiring Americans a chance at a better life. And yet in our statehouses, ALEC has put their extreme corporate agenda first.
We need you to fight back, today. ALEC-backed anti-immigrant legislation has been partially struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, and now it’s time to strike down the ALEC agenda.
Stand up for aspiring Americans everywhere, and the American Dream they work towards every day, by demanding your legislators oppose ALEC’s anti-immigration agenda.
Thank you,
Marisol Garcia

Whether it’s a CNN anchor bucking the trend on awful Obamacare coverage, an Atlanta anchorwoman explaining how diversity is a core American value, or the President of the United States having enough of one network’s phony scandals, there was a lot to see this week.

A new report this week indicated that Obamacare would give millions Americans enough flexibility to choose to work less. Many news outlets bought into conservative spin and distorted this important development, but one CNN anchor pushed back, correctly noting that the report was all about choice: http://mm4a.org/1lAX5es Related: On the other hand, the Associated Press White House Correspondent disregarded the facts of what the report actually said while discussing it on Fox News: http://mm4a.org/1iqB11e
Some conservatives whined at a Super Bowl commercial featuring a multi-lingual version of ‘America the Beautiful.’ Georgia anchorwoman Brenda Wood took those people to task. Watch for yourself: http://mm4a.org/1fLoLrc Related: Bill O’Reilly’s interview of President Obama before the Super Bowl was dedicated to pushing Fox’s phony scandals. Even Obama had enough of it: http://mm4a.org/1blczg2
Multiple Fox News hosts are outraged over CVS’ decision to stop selling tobacco products in their stores, as they pivot towards providing health care. Gretchen Carlson even asked if it was legally permissible for a store to choose to stop selling cigarettes: http://mm4a.org/Mu2rIz Related: Conservative gun advocates are in an uproar after 20/20 demonstrated how accidents can easily occur when guns are within the reach of children. http://mm4a.org/LQzXZk
Conservatives are having issues correctly pronouncing the name of President Obama’s nominee for the DOJ Civil Rights Division. We give them a hand: http://youtu.be/xddS5YETB3Y
Does Laura Ingraham, a leading anti-immigrant voice, know that Puerto Ricans are American citizens? Her baseless attacks on Justice Sonia Sotomayor raise doubts: http://mm4a.org/1ikKnuS
Fox News’ idea for a debate on whether Disney should create a plus-size princess centered around the notion that such a princess might encourage obesity. Seriously: http://mm4a.org/1iv1lYe
Dear MoveOn member,
Thanks to House Speaker John Boehner and his Republican caucus, the “Do-Nothing Congress” was so awful this year that I decided it deserved its own theme song.
I had fun putting together this video—which also calls out some uplifting wins MoveOn members and other progressives were able to achieve this year despite the “Do-Nothing Congress.” I hope you’ll take just a minute to watch and, if you enjoy it, pass it on.
Thanks for all you do—and all the best in 2014.
