"But it remains easier and cheaper for companies like Comcast and AT&T, with the help of groups like ALEC, to instead convince clueless lawmakers to pass laws restricting your right to determine for yourself how your money gets spent, and what it gets spent on."
I then googled "ALEC" (and looked past the Alec Baldwin twitter scandal of the day) and was amazed to discover a shadowy group that steers local legislation just about everywhere. Holy crap!
