They have a website.

It's a new campaign from the AFL-CIO and takes the Koch Brothers to task. They must be doing ok, because Politico already had a hit piece ready to go yesterday morning as the campaign launched. Apparently AFP is confused by this.

Bravo! Mr. Trumka. Bravo!

2. About time.

From the website:

UNION ADS WITH NEW TWIST: THE KOCH ‘SISTERS’ 09.04.14

The Koch “sisters” are the protagonists of a novel, and potentially risky, television and digital advertising campaign launching Thursday morning from the AFL-CIO that casts the Koch brothers, and the Republicans who have benefited from their big political spending, as enemies of the middle class.

Next thing is to buy back the media. As the People can't afford it, we'll have to petition Congreff and the Adminiftration.

4. Buy back the media? Petition Congress and the Administration?

Good luck with that. Congress and the administration are owned by the people who own the media.

5. That is true. That is true.

My dream was that We the People's representatives could step up and actually, you know, do their job protecting the First Amendment, our airwaves, etc. Naive.
