State legislators, lobbyists and activists will be receiving the book as part of a conservative policy summit luncheon — courtesy of AT&T and, by extension, its customers. They insisted on hardcover books, presumably for the book to be cherished by generations.
AT&T’s political action committee has also donated $494,740 to Perry during his nine years in office.
I would have the same discomfort with AT&T distributing copies of President Obama’s book. Once again, there is a disconnect between corporate leaders and their customers who cover the entire political spectrum from liberal to conservative. It also shows the myriad of ways for corporate money to support politicians.
