[QUOTE="funwithups, post: 961431, member: 4995"] ALEC, or the American Legislative Exchange Council, is a forty year old organization funded by large corporations and extreme right wing billionaires, like the Koch Brothers. ALEC writes legislation and legislators present it as their own. To date, over 1000 bills have been written by ALEC, and over 20% have passed. Some of ALEC's "highlights": -Prison Privatization -Voter Suppression laws -Kill at will laws, like in FL -Attacks on public education funding -Show me your papers law in AZ -Easing laws protecting things like air and water -And of course, [B]the dismantling of the unions[/B] Last week, Coke, Pepsi, Kraft Foods, Intuit, McDonald's, Wendy's The Bill Gates Foundation, and Mars Candy - the makers of Skittles (turns out ALEC had written Florida's "kill at will" laws), all washed their hands of ALEC, as the cockroach is being shown the flashlight. One company that didn't withdraw it's support for ALEC is UPS. Wonder why? Possibly the union thingy? Match made in hell... [/QUOTE]
