Koch Brothers Use Actress to Portray Disgruntled Voted in Begich Attack Ad

Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group backed by the Koch brothers, released an attack ad on Wednesday criticizing Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) for his support of the Affordable Care Act

“I trusted the president and Senator Begich … Now millions are losing their health care … costs are going way up,” the woman says. “Senator Begich didn’t listen. How can I ever trust him again? It just isn’t fair. Alaska deserves better.”

On Wednesday, the billionaires Charles and David Koch announced Americans for Prosperity’s $4 million anti-Obamacare advertising campaign, which targets six vulnerable congressional Democrats -- including Begich -- for supporting the Affordable Care Act.

"We want to make sure Obamacare is the number one issue they're thinking about," Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity told The New York Times. "We believe repealing Obamacare is a long-term effort, and a key part of that effort is keeping it in front of the American people night and day."

Perhaps Alaska voters need to be reminded of the Koch Brothers fine for stealing oil from America and stealing it from Native American lands. Or about a million other scuzzy things they've done.
