There are many on this site interested in the American Legislative Exchange Council.
A historic event took place recently which was badly needed.
Being a member of ALEC is finally, a major campaign issue.
Dark money went on the attack against ALEC members and I couldn't be happier.
Short diary - clips below the squiggle.
A snip from the presser released by ALEC
American Legislative Exchange Council Statement on “Patriot Majority”
This week, robocalls and letters dropped in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan and Maine, targeting state lawmakers who are members of ALEC. The attack letters call ALEC a secretive “corporate special interest” group that buys politicians with ”lavish, all-expenses-paid vacations.”
The robocalls and letters are funded by a progressive Super PAC called “Patriot Majority.”
Patriot Majority is a faux Tea Party group.
Their website, vocabulary, graphics and logo typing would
link the casual observer to Tea Party Patriots and similar groups
An example of the attack letters is available here
Now don't get me wrong - I am not a fan of dark money.
But this one puts me between a rock and a hard spot.
I am happy they chose to focus on ALEC members.
