In reply to the discussion: Breaking: "First Degree Homicide Of The Unborn Child Bill" Passes CO House On Second Reading [View all]From their website:
On July 13, 2011, the Center for Media and Democracy unveiled this trove of over 800 "model" bills and resolutions secretly voted on by corporations and politicians through the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). These bills reveal the corporate collaboration reshaping our democracy, state by state.
ALEC bills, which largely benefit the organizations corporate members, have been introduced in legislatures in every statebut without disclosing to the public that corporations previously drafted or voted on them through ALEC.
Before our publication of this trove of bills, it has been difficult to trace the numerous controversial and extreme provisions popping up in legislatures across the country directly to ALEC and its corporate underwriters.
How un American to have to work in secret to fight against the rights of citizens--no??? I am so angry at these people, and so disgusted.
