In Washington this past weekend our governors were meeting and the following governors have ties to ALEC – having hosted ALEC functions, having attended ALEC functions, speaking at ALEC functions, written in ALEC literature,– so it can reasonably be assumed that they are part of ALEC or agree with the stance that ALEC holds– because it is a “members only” organization.  (There may be more – they do not release member lists – these are the only ones I could find references to after hours of research.)

ALEC –has a annual meeting that is attended by “more than 2,000 state legislators, private sector members, government representatives, and public policy experts come together for this event to confront the problems facing the 50 states”  (Wiki)

ALEC – brings together private sector companies – such as Koch Industries, Coors Brewing, AT&T and Walmart, for the purpose of  “issues are debated by task forces of members, and policies adopted.”  AND  “ALEC “model bills” (aka Model Legislation) are introduced in task force meetings and voted on by ALEC members at each of three national meetings. Public sector (state legislators) and private sector (companies, foundations and nonprofits) members vote on each model bill separately”  (Wiki)

What this means is that private sector companies – such as (but not limited to) right wing companies such as  Koch Industries and Walmart -  are writing “model legislation” that legislature members then introduce as State and Federal bills.  Some of the “model legislation” are held on a public web site.  I’m sure in the “members only” area of the web site more controversial “model legislation” is kept, for members “eyes only”, for legislative members to “copy, print and present” as bills in their State or at the Federal level.

“Our members join for the purpose of having a seat at the table. That’s just what we do, that’s the service we offer. The organization is supported by money from the corporate sector, and, by paying to be members, corporations are allowed the opportunity to sit down at the table and discuss the issues that they have an interest in.” Dennis Bartlett, ALEC, 1997

HELL they are not only buying a seat at the ALEC table,

  They are buying a hidden seat in every State legislature.

  They are buying a hidden seat in the Federal government.

  They are writing “Model Legislation”.
