Americans need to understand the influence ALEC has on our elected government representatives. Media even though they may be dependent on the members of ALEC for advertising, their job is to keep government accountable. Pocan in Wisconsin, my home state, is trying to expose the secret influence ALEC has on our elected representatives in statehouses across the country. These same representatives have been doing ALEC's bidding for years. They offer many times legislation written almost word for word by ALEC. ALEC is made up of corporations. Our elected representatives are going to boot camps and conventions being wined and dined by these member corporations returning to pretend the promoted legislation is theirs and good for their state. It's time the Media exposes this blatent lobbying and influence peddling to American citizens before they vote for these representatives. Any representative as a member of ALEC needs to be openly accountable to their districts.
