ALEC's Efforts to limit democratic participation, facilitate big money in politics, and allow states to override the federal government.

The bills on this page represent ALEC corporations' efforts to disenfranchise Americans, to change campaign finance laws and give corporations greater ability to spend money influencing politics, and to thwart federal government mandates. These "model bills" are drafted at American Legislative Exchange Council conventions with input from, and approval by, Big Business, then introduced in state legislatures to erode the democratic power of average Americans. Politicians are elected to represent the people, not corporations; through ALEC, corporations have both a VOICE and a VOTE on specific state laws. Do you?
