ALEC Legislators Forced to Eat Hotel Food



Couldn’t help thinking about this today:

From about a week ago – a right-winger whining about ALEC being picked on and he wrote:

The New Hampshire branch of the liberal wing-nut industry is anchored by Granite State Progress. Their current obsession is the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC.

ALEC invites members of state legislatures to go to conferences, eat hotel food, sit through PowerPoints, and share legislative ideas.

Oh my – those ALEC members are going to be forced to EAT HOTEL FOOD.

Well – a couple of weeks ago – I posted the sponsorships ALEC was looking for their annual meeting – before they had a chance to yank them from their webpage (yes I have screen shots).


Two of the sponsorships they were looking for were:

     Refreshment Breaks - $5,000
     Luncheon Sponsors - $50,000

How come so much – after all this is JUST HOTEL FOOD.

WELL

The hotel where ALEC corporate member lobbyists will be wining and dining your ALEC state legislators in August – is the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago.
