AN ORGANIZATION CALLED ALEC AND ITS IMPACT ON AMERICA'S STATE LEGISLATURES

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW STATE LEGISLATURES COME UP WITH SO MANY BILLS AND PASS THEM INTO LAW IN SHORT ANNUAL OR SOMETIMES LESS FREQUENT SESSIONS?  AND WHY DO SO MANY OF THE SAME IDEAS COME UP FOR CONSIDERATION AT THE SAME TIME IN STATES ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN?  WELL, THE ANSWER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US AND IT IS IN AN ORGANIZATION WITH THE ACRONYM "ALEC".  WHAT IS ALEC, WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO SPILL THE BEANS SO YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LISTEN IN TO NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE THURSDAY MORNING AT 1O AM.  

JOIN MY FREQUENT GUEST, MARK COLLIER AND ME AS WE DISCUSS WHAT ALEC IS, HOW IT OPERATES, AND HOW IT MANIPULATES CONGRESSIONAL BODIES TO DO ITS BIDDING BY PROVIDING ALL THE RESEARCH AND LAW WRITING WORK FOR THEM.  REPRESENTATIVES AT THE STATE LEVEL MATCH THEIR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COUNTERPARTS IN LACK OF REAL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY PASS.  IF YOU THINK THEY READ EVERY WORD OF EVERY DOCUMENT BEFORE IT IS PUT ON THE FLOOR OR MAKE SURE THEIR CONSTITUENTS ARE INFORMED ABOUT THEM, YOU MUST HAVE TRAVELLED TO COLORADO RECENTLY FOR A LEGAL "ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH."

THIS IS A FOLLOW-ON SHOW FROM LAST WEEK'S "CONFESSIONS OF CONGRESSMAN X".  SAME RESULT, DIFFERENT LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT.  WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US.
