Through ALEC, Global Corporations Are Scheming to Rewrite YOUR Rights and Boost THEIR Revenue

Business  money
Through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations. In ALEC's own words, corporations have "a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in your state. DO YOU?

ALEC Task Force Meetings Are Unmasked

On April 26, 2012, government watchdog group Common Cause began posting material in support of its complaint to the IRS that "ALEC is a corporate lobbying group masquerading as a public charity." The evidence now available includes a complete set of agendas, model bills, minutes, and related materials for each ALEC task force meeting over the past two years. Read more about these meetings where state elected officials vote as equals with unelected corporate lobbyists and special interest reps on templates to change our rights without the press or public present.

TELL ALEC COMPANIES TO STAND DOWN!

Travyon Martin JPEG.jpg
The tragic Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida has once again drawn attention to the role of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in spreading terrible public policy in the form of “model” bills across the nation. We are sending letters to the corporate leadership of the ALEC to demand that they withdraw their membership from ALEC and do what’s right for our democracy.
