ALEC is one of the most destructive forces in US politics. An organization whose mission is unambiguously to undermine democracy in the United States. It's 'members' are ostensibly state legislators, but the true force behind the organization are large multinational corporations and their trade associations. In the Plastics Industry, ALEC is utilized by the American Chemical Council and its state-level affiliates to author and pass state legislation that is favorable to the plastics industry.
