> Hi XXXXX,

> I thought you might find it interesting to learn about an organization named ALEC. Possibly you are already aware of this organization, they are one of the leaders in writing legislation on privatizing public education. In fact, ALEC is holding the annual meeting in New Orleans as I write and the entire "show" is underwritten this year by BP. This is the organization that meets each year with law makers from throughout the country and together they write legislation and this legislation is then brought to communities throughout our country.

> It demonstrates that legislation throughout our country that is undermining public education begins in closed door meetings at ALEC yearly conferences and the bills that come out of these meetings are written by and are for the benefit of large corporations.
