This document summarizes an investigation into how counterterrorism agencies partnered with corporations to monitor Occupy Wall Street protestors. It describes how an Arizona fusion center shared intelligence with JPMorgan Chase about planned protests during a CEO's visit. Fusion centers were established after 9/11 to share information between law enforcement agencies but have since partnered with private companies. The document alleges these partnerships criminalized citizens engaging in political dissent and that police were sometimes hired by corporations to arrest protestors. It suggests counterterrorism resources were misused to shield corporations from criticism instead of protecting national security.
The document summarizes findings from records obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy showing that counter-terrorism agencies view political activists as security threats and have closely monitored protest groups like Occupy Wall Street on behalf of corporate interests. Records indicate agencies have infiltrated groups with undercover officers, constantly monitored individuals, and employed technologies to track activists. In some cases, corporate interests directly purchased police services to arrest protesters and help cover unlawful actions with false official reports and media statements. The records demonstrate how corporate security has been institutionally blended with national security through public-private partnerships in counter-terrorism fusion centers.

This document provides guidance on tracking special interest influence through publicly available records of lobbying, campaign finance, and financial disclosures of public officials. It outlines the following steps: 1) Identify lobbyists working for the entity of interest through lobby records. 2) Determine the issues lobbyists work on through disclosure forms, testimony, or public records requests. 3) Identify politicians supporting those issues and search for campaign contributions from lobbyists to those politicians. 4) Cross-reference information from different records types to uncover patterns of influence. The document uses examples from Florida but notes this process can be applied to different levels of government.
This document summarizes a meeting between an Ohio legislator and a lobbyist where they discussed advancing model legislation benefiting the insurance industry and fundraising for ALEC. The legislator agreed to introduce the legislation and it was passed without committee scrutiny. The lobbyist then provided names of insurance companies to help with ALEC fundraising. This suggests a quid pro quo relationship where legislative actions benefited ALEC donors.

LEGISLATION WITH ALEC DNA IN NEW JERSEY
Several pieces of state legislation introduced in the New Jersey legislature in the 2012‐2013 and 2010‐
2011 sessions bear the imprint of ALEC’s agenda. Among the bills sponsored by ALEC‐connected
legislators that contain either ALEC principles or remarkably similar – if not identical – provisions to ALEC
“model” bills are:
! Anti‐worker rights;
! Attacks on public education;
! Silencing democracy and suppressing the vote;
! Hijacking consumer rights/tort reform;
! Anti‐immigration; and
! Dismantling environmental regulations.
ANTI‐WORKER RIGHTS
One of the key strategies advanced by ALEC and its corporate members is the promotion of legislation
that undermines the rights of workers and unions. After a generation of lowering taxes on the richest
corporations and individuals and thereby starving government at all levels of vital resources for public
services, ALEC’s legislative allies are spreading the misleading message that “We’re broke.” After a
generation of stagnating real wages and diminished benefits in the private workplace due to the
weakening of unions and the outsourcing of American jobs, anti‐worker right‐wingers are trying to focus
the blame not on Wall Street policies but on working Americans, especially those in public sector unions
who have benefits often negotiated in lieu of higher private sector salaries. ALEC has advanced a range
of anti‐union laws that obstruct a union’s ability to collect dues, retain members, or advocate for public
workers.

Similarities/Analysis: A‐136 incorporates ALEC’s Right To Work Act that bars mandatory union
membership and the automatic deduction from an employee’s wages to pay for union dues. This
weakens public employee unions and thus workers’ rights by making it more difficult to pay dues to

ALEC Model Legislation: Appeal Bond Waiver Act
Similarities/Analysis: Appeal bond waivers of this nature make it easier for corporations to get a waiver
from posting a sufficient bond to help cover a judgment against them while they are appealing a
decision finding them at fault. It thus makes it easier to divert assets following a court decision that finds
them at fault for the injury or death of an American.lxvi
A‐2473/S‐480 sets the cap at $50,000,000 (with
trial costs, the maximum of that or the total judgment), while ALEC’s Appeal Bond Waiver Act caps it at
$25,000,000. While these numbers may sound large, many of the global corporations that are part of
ALEC have earnings in the billions. ALEC is attempting to change a law whose point is to ensure that
money is specifically set aside to honor a jury’s full verdict, not to give a discounted rate to increase the
likelihood of appeal and delay in paying the amount judged to be owed.
