Dear Friends, No, we're not talking about this Alec:
(though Alec Baldwin, if you're reading this, call us!)
ALEC is the acronym for the American Legislative Exchange Council -- a shadowy organization made up of hundreds of business leaders and state legislators who are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to enact an anti-public interest agenda in every state.
Learn more by joining Common Cause for a special webinar on Money, Power and ALECon Thursday, September 22 at 12noon eastern (9:00am pacific). Sign Up Now!
Bob Edgar, president of Common Cause, will explain what ALEC is and how it is targeting your health, your pocketbook, schools in your community, your democracy and more.
Lisa Graves, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy, will walk you through her organization's groundbreaking website, ALECexposed.org.
Doug Clopp, deputy director for programs at Common Cause, will showcase the latest research findings – including nearly $400 million in campaign contributions from ALEC-affiliated companies.
And finally Mary Cecconi, executive director of Parents United for Public Schools, will inspire you with the story of how she first learned about ALEC this summer, and what she has done to fight back in her home state of Minnesota.
We'll also have plenty of time for Q&A with members like you.
So please join us on Thursday at noon eastern to learn more about ALEC and what you can do to take them on in your community.
Register for this webinar today!
If you have any questions that you'd like our speakers to address, please submit them in the "Questions and Comments" box when you sign up. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions live during the webinar.
