The problem lies not just with government and not just with big business. The problem lies in the unholy alliance between the two.

Yes, that is why I want everyone to know that is what ALEC is. See if your local politician is associated with ALEC and vote him or her out. See BRIAN KOLB NYS -Mr. Kolb is a member of the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL), the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC),

Very good, many people are not aware. I wasn't aware of ALEC until very recently.

I knew people associated with the health insurance industry had helped construct the health care bills but I had no idea this was a general practice until I read a recent article about ALEC online.
