ALEC—the American Legislative Exchange Council—is having its annual meeting in New Orleans August 1-6th, advertised on its website as “Solutions for the States.”

ALEC’s “model” bills have been exposed by the Center for Media and Democracy’s new website ALEC Exposed, which lists all the bills that this corporate-legislative vortex spews out at its annual meetings. One of the more famous ALEC model bills was Arizona’s anti-immigration law SB1070.

August 6th from 9:00am to 10:30am will be a prayer service, in which they will surely call on God, Jesus Christ, whomever, to add to their abundance while Americans struggle to find work, pay bills and eat. After all, Jesus Christ was the prototypical capitalist who was anti-immigration, anti-union and anti-universal healthcare, amongst other things.

An ALEC protest is planned for August 5th to demonstrate against this corporate-legislative axis of oligarchy.
