Unbelieveable. You can now see the A.L.E.C. templates and match it with State bills

[annm4peace]

This is awesome. You can see if your STate Rep or Senator used A.L.E.C template for there bills.
Just look up the suspected state A.L.E.C. member and see the bills they co authored like Voter ID, Anti Immigration, School Vouchers, etc.. and then go to the website and see the A.L.E.C. templates.

this is more than corporations writing bills as usual. This is a neo wetdream. they have been wanting to use A.L.E.C for years and with the 2010 Republican take over in most states it is happening. Gov Walker and WI is a prime example.

go here to read the templates.. and you can also see if other exposed which politicians in your state are A.L.E.C. members. you can see who has sold out democracy.

1. How do we get rid of this private agenda that is destroying the

lives of the middle class/ poor people...

3. By exposing them and it.

we can see who used A.L.E.C templates by a little work and then post it. and then confront the politicians.

We should then call into radio shows and write letters to the editors about them.

call for them to resign. I know it won't happen but we should still ask for it.

Cowardly A.L.E.C has took down their website on 7/13. So if they are so proud of their work, why did they take their website down when the Nation came out with their article ?

that is something you can ask your A.L.E.C politicians.

8. Is Tara Mack of Apple Valley a member of ALEC?

She became a House Rep at age 25 and she's very right wing although her husband is a church minister. She's been part of the Republican Shut-Down so my guess is she's following the ALEC but I haven't actually checked yet.

12. Please post what you find out.

I could call her office and ask.. then google her name, then check her bills and compare.
then post and send to Alec exposed.

9. What is ALEC?

Had to look it up. I'm not part of the Vast Liberal Media Conspiracy, so I don't have these things in my brain.

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) membership association of state legislators and private sector policy advocates. Among other activities, the group assists its members in developing model laws for state legislatures and serves as an easy-networking tool for fellow legislators to research how certain policy projects and problems have been handled in other states. ALEC has approximately 2,000 legislative members representing all 50 states, as well as more than 85 members of Congress and 14 sitting or former Governors who are considered "ALEC alumni".

ALEC's mission statement is to advance the principles of free markets, limited government, federalism, and individual liberty, through a partnership between America’s state legislators and concerned members of the private sector, policy experts and the general public. These are primarily libertarian or conservative viewpoints advocated by the Republican Party (GOP).

ALEC brings state lawmakers and business people together to substantively create policy. Both public and private task force members have a voice and a vote in shaping bills. In addition to state lawmakers, ALEC consists of about 300 corporate, foundation, and other private sector members. A list of ALEC leaders in the states includes 73 Republican lawmakers and just seven Democrats, all conservative southerners who frequently vote with the GOP.

The chairmanship of ALEC is a rotating position, with a new legislator appointed to the position each year. The current chair of ALEC is Noble Ellington of the Louisiana House of Representatives.<1> Day-to-day operations are run from ALEC's Washington, D.C. office by an Executive Director and a staff of around 30.<2>
