After researching ALEC for some weeks, it has become apparent that they are the extreme conservative group behind the voter suppression and anti-collective bargaining legislative passed through some state governing bodies in the last year. Basically it is a "Pay to Play" scheme in which corporate members spend lots of cash for membership and sponsorship positions that give them direct access to sympathetic politicians in state legislature. In many cases, their "model legislation" language has been passed into actual law with little or no change. Of the verified members, Koch Industries has been documented as a corporate member; the Koch brothers, if you remember have spent millions of dollars supporting extreme conservative positions and candidates. It is impossible to get a list of active corporate members and active legislative members. People I know have brought up ALEC with their legislators, only to have them quickly change the subject or try to tie this group to the National Conference of State Legislatures. See www.alecexposed.org for more information.
