ALEC = corporations write legislation

The American Legislative exchange Coalition or ALEC is a group of corporate businessmen from the private sector who draft model legislation which they then encourage their republican members to enact. They claim to propose 1000 pieces of legislation a year, and that 18% of that becomes law.
This group is made up of corporate businessmen who pay $1000/year for membership, and then another $2,500 to $5,000 to be a part of one of their specialized bill-drafting groups. The membership is pretty secretive, though the public members can sometimes be tracked through other methods.
This is much more dangerous than a typical lobbying group because in this case private business and corporations are actually drafting legislation, and then this stuff is sold to gullible American public as something that is in the best interest of the public.
Large portions of Scott Walker's Budget repair bill come directly from the 'budget repair tool kit'. Some of the budget repair proposed might be in the public interest, but I know for sure that 100% of it is in the best interest of the big business corporations that drafted the original legislation with the ALEC.
The ALEC is very concerned with fighting "Obamacare" and I am sure that many Americans feel this way as well, but are we all comfortable with a fight against Obamacare that is headed up and written out by pharmacuetical companies?! How can their fight be in the best interest of the American people when they are paying so much money to ensure that it is in their own interest.

I think that this argument is valid for everything that is proposed on the ALEC website. The Arizona 1070 immigration bill came from this group. Why are private companies so concerned with illegal immigration? This bill was probably co-written by companies that operate private prisons, that stand to benefit from the criminalization of illegal immigration. I am sure that the union busting agenda of the Walker administration has nothing to do with the public interest.

It is particularly ironic that Walker has demonized teachers, nurses, prison guards, and other public employees by calling them lazy and selfish for protesting the drastic changes his administration has brought in reducing funds and stripping them of their right to collectively bargain for benefits and workplace conditions. In addition to the many lies that Mr. Walker has perpetrated, perhaps the worst is that he claims to be motivated by concern for the public good, when in fact he is concerned for the good of the companies and corporations that have drafted the extreme ALEC legislation that his sham administration is rubber-stamping.
