ALEC is nothing more or less than the corporate lobbying front organization for big business in America, and is completely funded by the same corporate interests that are attempting to eliminate any meaningful regulation of their industries, eliminate the rights of workers, and complete the “regulatory capture” of the government agencies that are supposed to hold our industries accountable to the people of the country for their harmful actions.

Oh, and some of ALEC’s largest contributors include the Koch brothers, who are doing their best to convince everyone that coal is a safe and clean fuel, even though no scientific date supports that self-serving claim.

If we’re hoping for any real clean-up at any level of our government, we should be hoping for a federal investigation and prosecution of ALEC for it’s role as nothing more than a hidden purveyor of soft bribes to the elected officials it captures.
