American Legislative Exchange Council
Conservative lobbying organization that pushes right-wing model legislation
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a corporate-funded organization that encourages legislators to introduce and pass right-wing model legislation that advances the interests of its various industry and right-wing foundation members. Examples of these efforts include the NRA's “stand your ground” law and measures that weaken labor unions and decrease funding for public education.
