Democracy NOW! DN! - This week the Center for Media and Democracy http://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed released 800 model bills, legislation that is straight out of the corporate playbook and drafted by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

The group's membership includes both state lawmakers and corporate executives who gather behind closed doors to discuss and vote on draft legislation. ALEC has come under increasing scrutiny in recent months for its role in crafting bills to attack worker rights, to roll back environmental regulations, privatize education, deregulate major industries and pass voter ID laws.

Thanks to ALEC, at least a dozen states have recently adopted a nearly identical resolution asking Congress to compel the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to stop regulating carbon emissions. We are joined by Lisa Graves, executive director of the Center for Media Democracy.

ofcourse, we all know that bills to be voted on don't just sprout out of some organic/grassroots process, but it sure is nice to have a face to put on this whole "shadow government"...
All the naysayers who say there's no secret agenda/conspiracy to destroy America needs to just stop talking and wake up to the reality... watch the above and realize it's right in your face and ahs been for decades
