WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's largest labor federation took aim Tuesday at the conservative Koch brothers in ads designed to highlight the billionaire industrialists' political clout and to gin up liberal voters.

The AFL-CIO campaign features sisters named Joyce and Karen Koch, who aren't related to big-spending Charles and David Koch. The women criticize the Koch brothers and their network of conservative groups such as Americans for Prosperity and Generation Opportunity.

The conservative Kochs are a frequent target of Democrats and are frequently vilified by liberals.

"We're not related to the Koch brothers, those right-wing billionaires," Joyce Koch says over a peppy soundtrack in the AFL-CIO ads.

4. Arrest The Bums!

That's right arrest the Koch brothers for domestic terrorism. These two billionaires are DESTROYING our DEMOCRACY!

We have security at airports, security at our borders, our police are militarized(unfortunately). Cameras and drones everywhere, and our phones and emails are spied on by our government, yet not one government agency doesn't see these Koch brothers as a threat to our freedom!

The government is looking for someone or a group who wants to destroy the U.S. The KOCH BROTHERS aren't blowing a building up, but they are destroying our country.

They've bought most of our politicians, our Supreme Court, put billions of dollars into all levels of government.
I find these men more dangerous than some terrorist.

If they don't like what's going on then RUN FOR OFFICE!

Occupy Wall St, peaceful protesters, whose only crime was pointing out how corrupt Wall Street was and they're arrested and thrown in jail.
Where are the marches on the Koch brothers homes, businesses, the DEMAND FOR JAIL TIME?????
They want change, then let the people give it to them PRISON!!!

We can't allow them to buy our Democracy!
