ALEC and the corporate sponsors who fund the group are behind dozens of dangerous bills, including racist voter ID laws, rollbacks of environmental protections, and more. ALEC creates \"model bills\" that undermine our rights, then have state lawmakers introduce them almost word-for-word as real legislation that often becomes law, weakening our democracy and enriching ALEC\u2019s corporate donors at our expense.
