Remember "I'm just a Bill" from School House Rock? Seems Bill has been having a few problems these days. There's a new kid in town. Meet Alec.
A new video updates a classic Schoolhouse Rock concept to explain the basics behind the American Legislative Exchange Council controversy.
“ALEC Rock,” produced by Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Mark Fiore and a number of advocacy groups including the Center for Media and

Raw Story
