they're behind your "stand your ground law."

Just in case there's too many words for you repugnicans here's a short definition.

ALEC is a secret-list members-only organization composed of two kinds of people, Republican state legislators and billionaire funders. The legislators get in for $50 per year. The billionaires get in for tens of thousands per year. That's how ALEC makes its money.

The billionaire individuals and companies pay ALEC to write laws and present them to legislators at "conferences" cum junkets. The legislators take the laws ("model legislation") home and introduce them as bills in as many states as possible. The rest is history, since in most cases, the billionaires can pay legislators to pass them. and governors to sign them as well. It's perfect vertical integration for the billionaires, and wonderfully efficient.
