Koch brothers putting big money into Ga races

[n2doc]

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Koch brothers, mega-funders of conservative causes throughout the country, are writing some big checks in Georgia races this election year.

Their Wichita, Kansas-based oil, gas and textile conglomerate Koch Industries filed a report Monday showing it donated $65,000 on May 6 to state candidates and causes - almost all Republicans. Of that, $50,000 went to a state GOP fund.

Since late October, it has contributed about $101,000 in Georgia, include $12,600 to Gov. Nathan Deal’s re-election campaign, $5,000 to Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and $2,500 the day before the 2014 General Assembly session started to House Speaker David Ralston.

That total since late October is nearly as much as the brothers and their companies gave in Georgia between 2006 and the start of October 2013.

1. Look folks, over here!

KKKochs know that GA is shading blue and they are going pull all stops.

Follow the money. Who are our DU eyes on in Georgia?

2. I've never noticed GA "shading blue"

except in major metro Atlanta. I do hope you're right, though.
