Re "Milbank: ALEC stands its ground, behind close doors," Opinion, Dec. 5: These people are after middle-class Americans and they mean business. They want the middle class to disappear and only the Super Rich to have a voice in all and everything that goes on in our country.

The public needs to read this article and it's not hard to fill in the blanks on what ALEC wants. This is why this group always meets behind closed doors. It is funded by the Koch Brothers and other corporate interests to create conservative legislation that the Republicans can get passed. It's time for middle-class America to wake up and smell the real roses before it's too late.
