Koch Fight: Join Our Effort To Expose The Billionaire Brothers’ Far-Right Agenda
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/03/03/tp-koch-fight/

Over the last three years at ThinkProgress, we’ve made the Koch brothers and their far-right agenda famous. Now we’ve got their attention. A senior Koch executive recently complained to the National Review that ThinkProgress is leading an “orchestrated campaign” against Koch and vowed to fight back against us.

So, a few days ago we launched a fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $10,000 in five days. We blew through that goal in less than four hours.

In response, the Koch-funded machine lashed out at ThinkProgress, using its vast corporate and political communication networks to promote insulting, ad hominem attacks. John Hinderaker of the far-right PowerLine blog called ThinkProgress “helpless wretches,” “ignorant kids” and “driven entirely by prejudice.” His writings were then broadcast by the official Koch Industries Twitter feed.

2. You might add a paragraph to the request to state that Think Progress and American

Progress Action is the same entity or group. I was suspect - so I checked the web site and found that there is a connection. So this is just a comment only about my caution - maybe others might not even check it out?
