ALEC - The American Legislative Exchange Council - Explained in 5 Minutes

DISCLAIMER: The ONLY inaccuracy in this video is the reference to tanning beds. As far as I now know, the ALEC scholarship fund has not paid for any legislator to sit in a damn tanning bed - that said, everything else is 100% factual. I should have said 'guided tours' of surrounding areas, since that has been offered, and is similarly very vacation-oriented. Hope you enjoy :)

ALEC is a 501 c3 non-profit organization. According to the group: "It is the nation's largest nonpartisan (sic) individual membership association of state legislators (sic), with nearly 2,000 members across the nation and more than 100 alumni members in Congress."

What ALEC does is criminal, and it needs to be stopped. Please click on the links below for more information on how you can help:

Thank you. We need to help others UNDERSTAND what is happening in our States and Nation. As ALEC is exposed, they will find other less transparent, secretive and devious ways to accomplish their goal of privately taking over and owning more of America's institutions.

This video is full of lies.The progressives have an similar legislative exchange organization (Progressive State Network) and the moderates have one too.

[moridin247]

Great video, very concise and clear. There is a decent PBS documentary about ALEC now but I think you explained it better.

[Kate Messner]

How about replacing the dumb half time performances with it? Trouble is, it's too late for this year's CRITICAL election.

[Chris Kelly]

Nice video but the back ground music is over the top and too loud.
