The KOCH Brothers At FULL ATTACK. You And Your Family Are In JEOPARDY.

"..Koch-backed pro-Walker demonstrations have had low attendance and were dwarfed by pro-union supporters in Madison this week.


-KNEE-CAPPING UNIONS : In a speech earlier this month at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Americans For Prosperity-Michigan Executive Director Scott Hagerstrom revealed the true goal of his group and allies like Walker. Speaking at CPAC’s “Panel for Labor Policy,” Hagerstrom said that even more than cutting taxes and regulations, AFP really wants to “take the unions out at the knees .” Knee-capping free labor has long been a goal of the Koch brothers and their many front groups. In the run-up to the 2010 elections, the Kochs worked with other anti-labor billionaires, corporations and activists to fund conservative candidates and groups across the country. Now after viciously opposing pro-middle class policies for years, Koch Industries is trying to eliminate the only organizations which serve as a counterweight to its well-oiled corporate machine. Believing he was talking with David Koch, Walker told a prankster his plans to crush the unions. Koch’s AFP operatives are now working with “state officials in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania to urge them to duplicate Walker’s crusade in Wisconsin.”


- PUSHING POISON : According to EPA databases, Koch businesses are huge polluters, emitting thousands of pounds of toxic pollutants. As soon as he got into office, Walker started cutting environmental regulations and appointed a Republican known for her disregard for environmental regulations to lead the Department of Natural Resources. In addition, Walker has stated his opposition to clean energy jobs policies that might draw workers away from Koch-owned interests. The Koch political poison has spread across the nation. Robocalls from Koch’s Americans for Prosperity group flooded New Hampshire in support of a bill that would repeal participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which has cut greenhouse pollution and created 1,130 jobs as a result of energy efficiency benefits. AFP climate deniers in New Jersey are trying to kill RGGI there as well. Koch’s main man in Congress, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS), inserted an amendment to slash EPA funding in the House GOP’s already wildly anti-environment budget. Koch’s many subsidiaries have filed challenges against health and environmental rules from toxic chemical disclosure to dumping in streams.

5. As if Obama has anything to do with OFA. Obama supporters are not Obama.

4. He must be wearing plush slippers rather than the shoes he promised he would wear to walk the

line and stand shoulder to shoulder with union members.

[ehrnst]

7. As has been pointed out - if he does walk with the protesters

then the GOP gets to paint this as Obama vs Walker (and Wisconsin Taxpayers) rather than the People v Walker.

They're already trying desperately to portray it as "Union Thugs" against the Taxpayers of Wisconsin.

3. There's something about those boys I just don't like.

6. PA Governor Corbett can't move fast enough to serve his

corporate masters. He's already opened up state lands to natural gas drilling and removed air pollution restrictions at drilling sites. H e has signaled that he will gladly sign a "right to union-bust work" legislation, and has cut more than 40,000 of the working poor from the state's Adult Basic health insurance.

8. People have had enough

-Koch Bros. are exposed, and are being backed against the wall....they absolutely will fight down and dirty, that is their way.

After they go down, others will too, the robber barons time has to be up sometime, and the sooner the better.

11. seems like the bushes and kochs have a lot in common

meanwhile the people that stand for equality are referred to as commies.

THERE'S SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE.

I weep for my grandkids unless this country changes drastically.

12. I wouldn't say 'slashed'

Amendment 47 from Pompeo cut a whopping $8,458,000 from EPA programs and management.

That's a fairly small amount, although I don't know if the current budget is $10 million or $10 billion.

I think it is absurd that Republicans are cutting small amounts like $8 million because of their supposed concern about the deficit. It's not about the deficit at all, it is about defunding programs that they don't like without having to overturn the legislation.

13. They contributed to the DLC?

According to this article, they're backing the Cato Institute, the Teabaggers AND the DLC?!

I guess it makes sense because all three of these exist to destroy the real Democratic Party.

:wow:
