United States of ALEC
Check out this show – “United States of ALEC,” a PBS report on the most influential corporate-funded political force most of America has never heard of — ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council. A national consortium of state politicians and powerful corporations, ALEC presents itself as a “nonpartisan public-private partnership.” But behind that mantra lies a vast network of corporate lobbying and political action aimed to increase corporate profits at public expense. That includes attacks on collective bargaining and aggressive efforts to privatize the law enforcement profession.
