EVERYTHING! In answer to your closing question. Thank you once again, David, for laying out the horrible truth. ALEC and its buddies The Federalist Society and The Heritage Foundation have been playing the long game for years. And they finally found a patsy who had popular appeal—unfortunately this apprentice is incapable of actually reading so has become nothing more than a puppet spouting hateful rhetoric which he garbles most of the time.
Great dive, David! A few years ago, a colleague researched whether Democrats have an ALEC counterpart for crafting state legislation, and the answer was No. But of course money talks, and the “scholarships” system further proves the adage that “It takes money to make money.” They never have enough.
Thank you, David. I'm a first-time candidate running for Indiana House District 60. While I've known about ALEC for a while, I wasn't familiar with their "scholarships." I've coined the phrase "Midwest Nice Legislative Stamp of Approval" for what I see happening too often in Indiana's Statehouse. My most recent blog [https://voteformichellehiggs.com/articles/2024/05/06/midwest-nice] links to your article here, as I want to connect people to your work. Your books and resources have been very helpful.
