"The United States of ALEC" is an unprecedented television report on the most influential corporate-funded political force most of us have never heard of: the American Legislative Exchange Council. Despite presenting itself as a "non-partisan public-private partnership," ALEC is a vast network of corporate lobbying and political action aimed to increase corporate profits at public expense.
In state houses across the country, hundreds of pieces of boilerplate ALEC legislation are proposed or enacted that would, among other things, dilute collective bargaining rights, make it harder for some Americans to vote, and limit corporate liability for harm caused to consumers--each accomplished without the public knowing who's behind it.
