Lobbying Group ALEC, Brings Corporations and State Legislators Together to Vote Behind Closed Doors

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a corporate-funded lobbying group that brings corporations and state legislators together to vote behind closed doors on “model” legislation without any public input. It’s been described as a dating service for corporations and the legislators they want to woo. This year ALEC’s national matchmaking meeting is bringing thousands of state legislators and corporations together in Dallas from July 30 through August 1. - See more at: http://texasaftblog.com/hotline/?p=3910#sthash.oFuxm9rk.dpuf

More at site source.

More about the ALEC Agenda will be coming with the next AFT Hotline.
