ALEC's Efforts to Rewrite Laws about Americans' Rights
|
|
Through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians VOTE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS to change the nearly every aspect of the law governing YOUR Rights. These so-called "model bills" -- supported by corporations -- erode the rights of working Americans in almost every area of law and also thwart reasonable regulation of corporate activities that affect our health, our economy, our environment, our democracy, and our liberty. Behind the scenes, through ALEC, corporations have "both a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in state legislatures. Do you?
