Is the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) too powerful?

Asked by Strauss (23642points) October 1st, 2012

Recently, Bill Moyers presented an episode entitled United States of ALEC, which alleges, among other things, that close relationships between corporate members of ALEC and legislative members might actually be a loophole around lobbying laws, to the extent that ALEC-written legislation is showing up in statehouses around the US, with total input from corporations and no input from the public. Do you think this is an accurate assessment of the situation? If not, let us discuss the innacuracies; if so, let us discuss how this can be countered.
