Maybe We Should Require This As a Mandatory Disclaimer on All ALEC Legislation
ALEC has become notorious for its "model" legislation that Republican lawmakers introduce verbatim in state legislatures, meant to create the impression that there's a groundswell of grassroots support on the state level for a right wing, corporate agenda that's anti-labor, anti-regulation, anti-environment, and anti-liberal in all senses.
When Florida Rep. Rachel Burgin (R- 56) introduced a bill in November calling on the federal government to reduce taxes for corporations (HM 685), she deviated from the normal script and was widely mocked. She left the boilerplate ALEC mission statement that the organization puts on all its model bills in the wording of the bill she introduced.
Actually, she had a pretty good idea. We should require this wording on all ALEC-sponsored bills. That way we'd at least know where they're coming from, and who they really represent.
