More than a lobby group, ALEC drafts and our state and federal elected officials nationwide enact legislation not for the greater good but more to the detriment of the electorate time and again and for their corporate interest and benefit.
Examples include:
Altria/Philip Morris USA benefits from ALEC’s newest tobacco legislation -- an extremely narrow tax break for moist tobacco that would make fruit flavored tobacco products cheaper and more attractive to youngsters.
Connections Academy, a large online education corporation and co-chair of the Education Task Force, benefits from ALEC measures to privatize public education and promote private on-line schools.
We need to return to actual representation FOR the people.
