Help Yelp Leave ALEC 19AUG13

YELP used to be cool, a great way to check out ratings on everything from people in your own community. Then they turned to the dark side and joined alec and so are guilty of supporting stand your ground, voter suppression, anti immigration reform, opposition to gun control,  opposition to Obamacare, opposition to public school funding, and a whole host of other regressive neo-con policies with the goal of taking our country back to the "good old days" when white men were the only ones who made the rules and the money. Here's an easy way to tell Yelp to turn from the dark side, send them one of the tweets below.....
As the Huff Post reported last week, our efforts to hold Yelp accountable for joining ALEC has been a huge success. Thousands of people have left negative reviews on ALEC’s Yelp page and I even received a call from Yelp’s corporate lobbyist shortly after our action. But it’s not all-good news. We have more work to do.
Our actions have been wildly successful, but Yelp has no plans to leave ALEC - though they are listening to us very closely. Let’s help Yelp leave ALEC by pushing this even further..
1)   Tweet @YELP and their corporate lobbyist. Tweet bombs are an effective way to get attention and they can’t delete tweets. So send your tweet today. (Click one of the tweets below to auto-populate it so you can send.)
Hey @Yelp: We’ll help you fight #SLAPP if you drop your alliance with ALEC. @lutherlowe @misswrite #alecexposed #VoterSuppression
.@Yelp: I <3 your reviews, but not your ALEC alliance. WT_? @lutherlowe @misswrite #alecexposed #VoterSuppression
.@Yelp: ALEC is associated with #VoterSuppression and #StandYourGround. Is that what you support, too? @lutherlowe @misswrite #alecexposed
2)   Call Yelp today and tell them it’s time to leave ALEC: (415) 908-3801
3)   Review Yelp on Yelp.  Keep the formal protest going by telling Yelp to leave ALEC by giving them a one-star on their own page. Click here to review Yelp on Yelp. Be passionate, but be respectful.
We will continue to monitor this and follow-up with more actions you can take, but right now, those actions are the best things you can do to Help Yelp leave ALEC.
Companies need to stop giving the ultra conservative ALEC any credibility.
