Mr. Reno,

+

You're welcome to the information. Those links were partly in follow-up to questions about specific examples of ALEC's so-called “model legislation” — what various other people have been calling “boilerplate bills”, “cookie cutter laws”, “copycat acts”, “cut-&-paste legislation”, “ghost-written bills”, and even “Mad-Lib Laws”.

+

You may have noticed what happens if you attempt to read any of the specific titles on ALEC's Model Legislation Pages, for instance, the Education Page:

+

• http://www.alec.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Education

+

What you get, well, what I get, is this message:

That naturally makes it very difficult for We the Peons to find out what kind of Hob-Nobbing our elected representatives are carrying on with the agents of this corporate ideology group.

+

Tanks, But No Thinks — maybe some people are copacetic with that, but lots and lots of us peasants think it's revolting.
