ALEC Membership IS Open to Congress

This post is a reminder why it is important to know all past and present members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and why we must NOT elect or re-elect or appoint any ALEC  member to public office.

The press has repeatedly referred to past ALEC members as "alumni".
This misleads the public into thinking that the person is no longer a member oor no longer active.

We MUST NOT

This is true at the federal and state level - and is also true for the county and city level - and for elections or appointments to public commissions.

The American Legislative Exchange Council receives  almost 98% of it funding comes from corporations and that is who ALEC legislators and public office holders serve!!!
