This blog is all about collecting and sharing valuable information regarding the Koch led group of oligarchs and their hostile takeover attempt on our government. No, I'm not kidding, check it out:
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – The network of groups affiliated with billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch will spend more than $400 million on conservative causes and candidates in the 2018 midterm election cycle.
(That's not USA's People's Democracy, that's the best government wealth can buy, people be damned!)
Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips said Saturday that the investment would be the network’s largest election cycle investment ever — 60 percent greater than the 2016 presidential cycle — as Republicans seek to protect majorities in the House and Senate against stiff political headwinds. {Jonathan Easley - 1/27/18 - The Hill}

To win support for the Republican tax legislation, the Koch network claims that it organized over 100 rallies in 36 states, contacted over 1.8 million activists, and knocked on over 33,000 doors. The group also spent freely on digital and television advertisements, with $1.6 million in TV spots to support the legislation in Wisconsin alone.
The Koch network has attracted its biggest crowd of members ever to the winter seminar, with 550 conservative activists from around the country, including 160 first-timers. {Fang, Surgey - 2/25/18 - The Intercept}
