Much has been written on the Koch brothers’ immense wealth and influential network of shadow groups, think tanks, and political action committees dedicated to drastically altering our economic and political system at the national level —or, as we call it, “Kochonomics.”
But it is at the state and local level that the Koch brothers’ impact has become the most effective—and harmful.
The less Americans know about the effects of these state and local efforts, the more the Koch brothers can accomplish. The Center for American Progress Action Fund needs your help today to investigate and inform the public about the Koch brothers’ extended efforts to rig the system for their benefit.
Recently, the Center for American Progress Action Fund released the report, “Kochonomics: Rigging the System at the Local Level,” which revealed the Koch brothers’ successful campaigns to take their anti-government, low-regulation lobbying efforts from city to city. These campaigns are a part of a $400 million scheme to transform policies in school boards and town halls to oppose funds that support teachers and students, pay for police officers, maintain roads and bridges, and protect the environment. Yesterday, we released another report, “Kochonomics in Wisconsin and North Carolina,” which gives an in-depth view into the Kochs brothers’ efforts in two of their self-declared model states.
Help us continue to inform Americans across the country by contributing $5, $10, or $25 dollars to the Center for American Progress Action Fund to fund our investigative efforts. Your contribution will help provide citizens with the knowledge they need to fight back against the spread of Kochonomics.
We cannot sit idly by as our states and cities are being re-structured to benefit a wealthy few.
The Koch brothers are spending $400 million – We are asking you for $25. Please go to our website today and contribute what you can to keep our work going.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Ted Strickland
President and CEO, Center for American Progress Action Fund
P.S. Please be sure to share our reports and encourage your friends to contribute!

The problem may not be so much that people do not care . . the problem may be just plain old apathy.

The problem for some was definitely apathy, but what happened in 2010 was much more … Gays, so-called professional lefties some progressives and immigrants deliberately stayed away because they didn’t get what they felt was owed … I don’t know if Black advocates ever told eligible voters to withhold votes after finally getting the vote after people dying for me and family or friends of colour to vote. Anyway, it’s a not an option decision for me and those I know
