ALEC

The ALEC is trying to take over my country. They say it in their own words on the top of their public webpage "controlling the nation by controlling the state houses" I have a few articles that discuss these guys better than I ever could.
This even lists the members if the 'private enterprise board' remember, each of these companies sent their employees here, paid 1,000 to join ALEC, then another undisclosed amount of money to be on the private enterprise board. The model legislation drafted by this group is then proposed as law by the republican lawmaker side of the operation- the lawmakers' pay a token $100 to be a part of the group, they are then lobbied by ALEC at private conferences and conventions. I am sure that this model legislation will benefit the members of the private enterprise board- but it is not likely that it will benefit the public.
