19. More You Can Do to Stop ALEC Join Common Cause in telling the IRS to launch an immediate investigation into whether ALEC should have its tax-exempt status revoked! Dear Commissioner Shulman: I write on behalf of my client Common Cause to request that the Internal Revenue Service investigate what appears to be massive under-reporting of lobbying by the American Legislative Exchange Council (“ALEC”). Further, the Service should review the organization’s operations to determine whether its tax-exempt status should be revoked due to excess lobbying or, alternatively, because ALEC appears to operate primarily to further private business interests and not to advance a charitable purpose.
