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)

http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacfaq.php 

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 for the letter C are:

(Like I said in two earlier entries – VA bend over and take the position – ALEC owns your ass.)
