ALEC Related PAC's - Who Gets Their $$$ - Part I

From the ALEC webpage here is the current Private Sector Board

ü        Mr. W. Preston Baldwin, Centerpoint360 (2011 Chairman)
Private Enterprise Board Members (as of December 1, 2010)
1.       Ms. Sano Blocker, Energy Future Holdings
2.       Mr. Don Bohn, Johnson & Johnson
3.       Mr. Jeff Bond, PhRMA
4.       Mr. Bill Carmichael, American Bail Coalition
5.       Mr. Derek Crawford, Kraft Foods, Inc.
6.       Mr. John Del Giorno, GlaxoSmithKline
7.       Mr. Matt Echols, Coca-Cola Company

21.    Mr. Roland Spies, State Farm Insurance Co.
22.    Mr. Pat Thomas, United Parcel Service
23.    Mr. Jerry Watson, Chairman Emeritus

Due to time constraints - I put parameters on this project.  (I can get a little OCD sometimes, so I had to stop at six companies, rather than pulling all 24 – not enough?  Too bad!  Just picking those 6 ALEC Private Sector Board Member’s companies resulted in a spreadsheet with 2,764 lines of donations.)

“Political Action Committee (PAC) — A popular term for a political committee organized for the purpose of raising and spending money to elect and defeat candidates. Most PACs represent business, labor or ideological interests. PACs can give $5,000 to a candidate committee per election (primary, general or special).”  (Source)


I went to  www.congress.org  and pulled the PAC’s for each of the companies highlighted in red – shown above.  I pulled donations to candidates of more than $4,999, for the three election cycles of 2005 – 2010.

Below you will find the top ten winners in PAC money received from ALEC Private Sector Board Member Companies.

And – your US Legislative winners in letters A & B are:

84 members of the US House and Senate are “Alumni” of ALEC.
Over 2,000 members of State Legislators belong to ALEC. 

Please request the elimination of any and all state and federal funding for state or federal legislators to belong to ALEC, to attend ALEC events and to buy products or publications sold by ALEC.

1 comment:

  1. I’m getting comments from people who are defending their US legislators who are on this list. I did not make up this list – I did not “put your legislator on this list”. Your legislator put themselves on this list by choosing to accept donations from ultra-conservative right wing organizations. If you have a problem with that – complain to your legislator – not me!
