alec over the years.wo main categories they have -- one is how to reduce the size of government, and the other half of it is this model legislation that's in the corporate good. in other words, there's a profit-driven legislation. how can you open up a new market? how can you privatize something that can open up a market for a company? and between those two divisions, you are kind of getting to the same end goal, which is really kind of ultimate privatization of everything. >> mark pocan is something of an expert on alec. in fact, to learn as much as he could, he became a member. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> what i realized is if you join alec for a mere $100 as a legislator, you have the full access like any corporate member. >> he also took himself to an alec conference for a first-hand look. >> hi, i'm state representative mark pocan, and welcome to my videoblog. i'm outside the marriott on canal street in new orleans at the alec convention, the american legislative exchange council. that was where you watch the interacti

since 2009, 99-nra-backed alec laws have passed in 36 states.ll of those states are states where alec-backed gun legislation has passed. and as a result gun safety laws across the country have gotten incredibly watered down. in arizona you need a permit to cut hair but not to carry a concealed. in mississippi concealed weapons permits last longer than driver's licenses. iowa it's easier to sell a gun than lemonade. in arkansas it takes less time to buy a gun than to qualify for food stamps. not only do we have weaker gun laws than other countries, we have significantly more guns than any other place on the planet. look at this chart. those little yellow dots are the number of runs that are in all of those countries, all of those advanced industrialized nations, and there are 270 million privately owned firearms in the united states, far more than any other country the world. that's an average of roughly nine guns for every 10 americans. almost as many guns as there are people. and sadly the sandy hook venn has only aggravated this trend. the lar

writes model bills for state legislatures and this bill is straight out of the alec playbook. the language in it is almost identical, almost exactly the same as alec's model right to work act. the labor leaders are vowing to fight this until the bitter end be. a high-ranking official told talking points memo "if this bill is signed today it will be a thunderdome for governor snyder and michigan for the next two years. all options are on the table. this fight is far from over." it is my pleasure to welcome michigan senate democratic leader gretchen whitmer coming to us from lansing. senator whitmer, thank you so much for joining us inside "the war room." >> i'm glad to be here with you governor. >> jennifer: all right. so you're in the thick of it. and in fact, i think you staged a sit-in with reverend jesse jackson and mayor virg bernero today. can you describe the scene at the capitol today? >> sure, governor. well, you know, before i even got my girls off to school, there were over 8,000 people at the capitol. by the end of the day estimates were upwards of 13,000. these are

now what is alec? alec is an organization that brings public officials, mainly state legislators, together for quarterly meetings at various locations throughout the country. so the legislators, about 80% of the state legislators in america, belong to alec. and so they pay dues -- used to be $50 a year, now i understand it's $100. you pay dues. the citizens actually pay the dues for the politicians. that comes out of the state treasury. so they go, they join alec and they go to the quarterly meetings and they participate in the legislative efforts of that organization. which also includes, in addition to legislators, corporations, big business. some small businesses. but it's basically an organization of big business. they wished they could pay only $100. they might pay $25,000 or more for a year as a member of alec. so you have corporate members. you've got legislators who are members. you have individuals. and you got corporations. you got midgets against giants or not against giants, but with giants

position with alec has demonstrated a lack of reasonableness just last year the n.r.a. pushed for a model bill through the american what is this change council's task force that would bar cities from barring machine gun that is automatic firing weapons that as long as you push the trigger down will fire implicitly until you run out of ammunition this is not the policy these are the policies of a regional organization the policies of an organization that has taken an extremist position time and time again some so that holding my breath for the n.r.a. to be reasonable but i do think is responsive to their citizens are going to have to not duck and i have to stand up for these children and for the lives that have been. lost in this tragedy in others well i think absolutely the figures show that we are seeing a shift in the way that the public sees these sees these policies lisa really appreciate you coming on that was lisa grey of the executive director of the center for media and democracy. now somewhat of a victory for privacy protection the vermont supreme court has rul

alec writes legislation state by state. guess what?s right to work rules mirror alec language practically word for word. these guys didn't even have to write the bill. it was handed to them. this is not conservatives' only line of attack. oh, there is more there are attempts to change the electoral college in ohio, pennsylvania, and virginia. a virginia state senator has proposed a scheme to allocate electoral college votes based on districts rather than the popular vote. it's a way of marginalizing urban voters in the next election. game plan page 2. you see, listen very carefully to romney's running mate paul ryan right after the election. >> i think the surprise was some of the turnout. some of the turnout, especially in the urban areas, which definitely gave president obama the big margin to win this race. there is always an electoral college strategy in winning these things. and you know what states you need to win to get to 270 electoral votes. and when we watched -- look at the map here of virginia and ohio coming in, those ones

turned into laws using model legislation like we saw yesterday, the michigan right to work act, and alec to work act, that's the american legislative exchange council, and in michigan respect lawmakers lifted from alec suggested union busting law word for word. these guys have the funding, the infrastructure, the message, the media, the boots on the ground and they are out to decimate progressive political power centers which are the unions. so back with me now, is michael moore. thanks again for sticking around. i just want to get your take on this because we have seen these billionaires infiltrate at the state level in sort of an under the radar way and getting these small victories which are not so small when they add up. what can every day citizens do to be able to push back on this? >> hum. yes. mr. adelson and these billionaires have declared war on the middle class, on the average american worker. they are out to destroy the lives of tens of millions of people. they don't give a rat's ass about any of this. so unless we get up off of the couch, and get active and get involved, the
