Astounds me how anti-human organizations such as ALEC are granted such influence by Republican and Democrat alike in the USA. The fraud on the other hand, doesn't surprise me. Despite their power, these regulatory institutions seem more captured by vested interests and partisan politics than the public good they should be providing.

ALEC is a conservative organization with 98% Republican membership.

  That seems like a contradiction. I cannot think of any conservative policies advanced lately by the Republican leadership.

    No, it's not. Conservative corporate policies desire restoration of a regressive, apartheid theocracy... think Clarence Thomas and Scalia.

      That is hardly a conservative goal; it is radically reactionary. Actually conservative policies would resist change, not seek it out.
