ALEC Doesn’t Care About #FreeMarkets

ALEC Doesn’t Care About #FreeMarkets

"Today in Kansas City, Missouri, the American Legislative Exchange Council is bringing your state legislators to a closed-door meeting with corporate lobbyists to ghostwrite "model" laws to bring to your state.

As usual, ALEC's latest conference will be painted with patriotic rhetoric and all of the typical buzzwords: "free markets," "liberty," "Jeffersonian," "Prosperity,"...you get the gist. But in typical political & public relations fashion, these words are a feeble shell obscuring an anti-populist, Big Business lobbying campaign."
