Amidst a movement to overturn "Stand Your Ground" gun laws, Democracy Now! looks at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a corporate funded group that worked with the National Rifle Association to pass the measures across the country. On Wednesday, the fast food giant Wendy's become the sixth corporation to publicly cut ties with the secretive right-wing group for backing the laws.
