"Wonder if all the Progressive press is causing ALEC to pay attention to our objections? Yes it r! Here is a link to a recent press release by ALEC addressing the bad press they have been receiving. Take note that in this misinforming document, ALEC claims: "Our policies and initiatives are public and we are proud to support our legislators as they carry out ALEC principles." Oh really? Well how about unlocking access to your Model Legislation? The issues and pursuits of your Task Force Initiatives? If you want to claim your policies and initiatives are public - live up to that claim...I mean what has ALEC got to hide, hmmm?" See Full Article with links | Daily Kos

"Many of those helping to craft this legislation are from the private sector. The brochure promises its membership from the private sector, which includes business leaders, industry executives, and others wealthy enough to pay annual dues that can reach thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars a year, "an unparalleled opportunity to have its voice heard, and its perspective appreciated, by the legislative members."

"Its principal funding comes from large corporate backers and right-wing foundations. About 300 corporate sponsors pay membership fees ranging from $5,000 to $50,000. Its backers include American Express, Coors, Wal-Mart, Texaco, GlaxoSmithKline, Philip Morris, Corrections Corporation of America and Koch Industries as well as the National Rifle Association. Among its telecommunications backers are AT&T, Sprint and Verizon as well as the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (NCTA).
ALEC actively supports repealing the minimum wage, privatizing Social Security and replacing guaranteed health benefits with medical savings accounts. It gives large donations and other perks to legislators, most often reactionary Republicans, in states across the country to carryout corporate initiatives. A couple of these efforts are illustrative."
"ALEC is, formally, a non-profit group that drafts model legislation. It has an estimated membership exceeding 2,400 state legislators from both political parties, but most are conservative Republicans. It regularly invites members to all-expense paid private gatherings with corporate executives and lobbyists where they devise model legislation to fulfill their political agenda. These legislators, in turn, return to their home states and promote the legislation at state houses throughout the country. Many of their initiatives are enacted."
