 2003 Voters' Guide - OIL SLICK
ALEC was born in 1973, the brainchild of Paul Weyrich, the man credited with coining the term “moral majority.” Weyrich’s original vision for ALEC was a legislative clearinghouse to provide bill language and background material for the conservative anti-choice, anti-feminist and anti-voting rights social agenda.
Though sophisticated, the ALEC process is simple: Once the corporate players have purchased their seats at the table, they are free to spend some quality time with the state legislators behind closed doors, then send them back to their legislatures with cookie cutter pro-industry legislation.
If ALEC’s promotional boasting is to be believed, over a third of the nation’s state legislators belong to the organization, and during the 1999-2000 legislative cycle (the last for which data are available), the membership nationwide introduced more than 3,100 pieces of ALEC legislation, with more than 450 enacted in various states.

ALEC and the right wing foundations that it partners with -- among them the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation and the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (WPRI) -- worked to transform the image of voucher programs from a desultory privatization scheme to a "progressive" policy that gives students from low-income families a chance to get a better education.
ALEC promotes model legislation that advances its mission via nine task forces that mirror state and federal government branches, such as the Health and Human Services Task Force, and the Criminal Justice Task Force.
According to an ALEC expose titled, "Corporate America's Trojan Horse," coauthored by the National Resources Defense Council and Defenders of Wildlife, this can verge on violations of state ethics laws when corporate interests are paying to meet with particular legislators.
