The brilliant Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist, Mark Fiore, does it again with another cartoon video [6] skewering the American Legislative Exchange Council [7] (ALEC). The video focuses on how a bill becomes a law ALEC-style. Warning: this is not School House Rock. This is Fiore's second video on ALEC. Previously he shined [8] a light on the NRA's Stand Your Ground" legislation implicated in the Trayvon Martin slaying that ALEC deemed a model bill and helped get it passed in over two dozen states. Many folks may remember the original School House Rock! version [9] of how a bill becomes a law.
