Speaking Truth to ALEC: A teacher infiltrates an ALEC meeting

8. Woohoo!

I'm so glad to see ALEC is getting exposed. That group is behind writing SB 1070, the anti-immigrant, show-your-papers law, in Arizona. They also have their hand in CCA (Corrections Corporation of America), that envisioned SB 1070 filling their for-profit jails and thus, their coffers. They write many of the regressive, anti-people bills that are getting passed in statehouses nowadays, as wittnessed by this video. They then let some willingly complicit, right wing legislator put their name on it and take credit for writing it, a la Russell Pearce in AZ and SB 1070. I'm guessing they even had a huge hand in writing Lyin' Paul Ryan's budget who was exposed as a lightweight by election campaign, and specifically by VP Joe Biden who wiped the floor with him in the VP debate. After his poor performance in the debate and during the campaign where couldn't even explain any specifics about his alleged plan, how are we expected to believe he wrote this much-ballyhooed budget plan? I say, "Go activists", keep exposing these behind-the-scenes, unelected right wingers who are trying to usurp the power of representative system of government.
