ALEC's dream of a world where industry writes every state law

By Alex Pareene

It sure is funny that, at basically the same time, state legislatures across the country began passing a slew of similar measures attacking collective bargaining, undocumented immigration and abortion, right? Just a weird coincidence, I'm sure, this sudden nationwide war on public employee unions and immigrants and women....

There is no surprise for many Americans, after all it was Paul Ryan's chart directly from The Heritage Foundation that gave away the fact these legislators are inept, controlled and monitored.  If Americans didn't get that picture than what indeed are Americans thinking?

The Declaration of Independence was not written from a 'template' from the King of England after all.

Through the corporate-funded (click here) American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations. Through ALEC, corporations have "a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in your state. DO YOU?...

This isn't just the USA Democracy, but, the potential is where capitalists exist throughout the world there is this potential for 'figure head' governments, such as the Regressives in the USA, that 'steer' legislative outcomes in the power of the corporations.  There was a taste of that in Russia with the Oligarchs, which is not connected to The Koch Brothers, at least not directly. 

This corporate COVET of governments is a direct assault on sovereignty.  The Regressive Republicans are definately Anti-American while they wrap themselves in the USA Constitution as if THAT were their guilding light.  It would seem to be a lie, a gigantic lie as exampled by Paul Ryan alone.

ALEC Exposed--How Corporations Are Taking Over Our Democracy (click here)

By Ruth Conniff, July 13, 2011
Today the Center for Media and Democracy rolled out a new web site, ALEC Exposed, based on a massive leak of information from the American Legislative Exchange Council, the powerful coalition of corporations, rightwing foundations, and state legislators who have been literally writing the laws at the state level to push their pro-business, anti- democracy agenda....

These are not competent legislators, they are manniquins bought and paid for by Wall Street.  The participant legislators are not able to govern or do they seek to govern.  They are the power brokers.
