Wisconsin Democrat who infiltrated ALEC: ‘They don’t want people involved in the political process’

10. Just want to repeat that for emphasis:

And he said, “Oh, well, you really don’t need {the} people to do this. You just need control over the legislature and you need money, and we have both.”

That sentiment was underscored so many times to me, that they don’t want {the} people involved in the political process, or in the policy process. And that seems to be the intent in a lot of ways: You have a think tank in every state and all they do is come up with these very, very regressive policies, you have corporations who are going to benefit so they fund it all, and then you have the legislators as your foot soldiers to carry out the tasks.
