ALEC is Secretly Collaborating With Foreign Countries to Promote Bills in Congress

http://www.policymic.com/articles/14783/alec-is-secretly-collaborating-with-foreign-countries-to-promote-bills-in-congress

The Voters Legislative Transparency Project, Inc. announced this week they had uncovered documents demonstrating that 17 representatives of seven foreign nations have been secretly involved in creating legislative bills and policies meant to become laws of policy in the U.S.

This includes the writing of proposed “model bills,” resolutions sent to Congress and the President in support of key policies they wish the U.S. to adopt. All of this is allegedly being done outside the protocols and provision of the U.S. State Department – and possibly without that Department’s knowledge or approval.

<snip>

Journalists did not discover this US/UK scandal involved foreign officials holding full membership in ALEC – and helping craft and develop laws for our states and policies at the federal level. These foreign officials all hold seats upon ALEC’s International Relations Task Force (IRTF). The IRTF has been responsible for creating model legislation that has become law in Utah, South Carolina (as reported in August 2012) including the Sound Money Act recently passed in those states.

As full members, the foreign representatives have full rights of voting and discussion on ALEC’s proposed legislative bills and resolutions.

The teabagging morons that put on flags and pretend they have a clue are so easily duped into supporting non-American interests.

So many, so plug stupid.

It's like a bad dream.

Anyone can clearly see, it's not the Daleks we need to worry about. It's the Cybermen who have taken over. Mitt Rmoney is an obvious example. And his teaparty followers have obviously had their brains reprogrammed in the Cybermen's retrofitting factories.
