==New Hampshire==

* Rep. Robert L. Theberge (D-4) - Theberge told the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, "It is true that I was a member of ALEC several years ago. My intention was to bring forth a different perspective on issues.  However, I quickly learned that the voice, of what I believed to be reason, did not prevail. I was also concerned about the make-up of the members where businesses and corporations had a direct voice and vote on national issues.  In particular, pressure was placed on members to put forth legislation and provided with boiler plates for legislation to that end. In conclusion, I am no longer a member of ALEC, nor do I support their views. . . . The organization is protected by the First Amendment, and hearing opposite views hopefully gives everyone food for thought. The latter apparently does not resonate with ALEC's membership."<ref>Rep.

As a legislator, my job is to represent the interests of all my constituents, not just those whose views align perfectly with mine.  I have been a member of ALEC since I was first elected to the Legislature, and my very-limited participation enabled me to learn more about the organization’s legislative agenda and its stance on issues.  I thought this insider’s view would help me to better understand those who do not agree with me politically, and in many ways, it has. However, my membership status is increasingly becoming a divisive issue this year, and I prefer to put my time and energy into efforts that unite our district rather than divide it.”<ref>Rep.
