Third IRS Whistleblower Complaint Brought Against American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) | vltp.net: ALEC claims their activities are all related to educating lawmakers and that none are related to lobbying for or against legislation or a particular candidate.� Nearly all of their activities, however, appear to be directly related to creating thousands of pieces of model legislation and lobbying for passage of each one in most U.S. states.� ALEC openly boasts a success rate of 17% of “their” model legislation becoming law.
The first two complaints address issues of lobbying and soliciting contributions from corporations, businesses and other organizations.� The contributions are then used to reimburse ALEC state legislative members for their travel, lodging and incidental expenses related to attending any of ALEC’s three annual events (Summits or Meetings).� The money is requested by ALEC’s state chairmen and when received they forward the funds to ALEC to “hold” until an event is concluded.� Then state legislators submit requests for reimbursement for the costs of their attending, and ALEC disburses the held funds.
