Patriot Majority puts anti-Koch Bros. ad on Florida TV

Patriot Majority puts anti-Koch Bros. ad on Florida TV
posted by scottpowers on August, 23 2012 5:47 PM



A national group called Patriot Majority that calls itself non-partisan organization but has a union-backed history has hit Florida with a minute-long TV commercial going after two of the Democrats’ biggest boogeymen, Kansas Republican spenders David and Charles Koch.

The ad, “Greed Agenda”, which also appears in a 30-second version, is part of a brief nationwide campaign set to run through Labor Day for $500,000.

It accuses the Koch brothers of using their wealth to control elections so they and their “special interest friends” can get legislation and regulations that will allow them to make more money.

“Don’t let the Kochs use their billions to buy this election,” it concludes.

and since the ad doesn't tell them who to vote for, it is not effective.

Yes, for the informed Democrat it's great but...
