Kirk Dillard, an Republican Illinois State Senator and member of the far-right political organization American Legislative Exchange Council, appeared in a 2007 Obama campaign ad. I would like President Obama to fully explain his connections to State Senator Dillard and why he would pal around with a member of ALEC, a far-right organization that has pushed hundreds of Republican-backed laws, such as Wisconsin's anti-union "Budget Repair Bill" and Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law".
