Quarantine the Kochs

On January 30th, 2011, over a thousand American patriots rallied outside the secret, biannual Koch conference, a shadowy gathering of corporate tycoons who plan their buying of elections for the upcoming political cycle, along with their ability to shelf legislation that imperils their enormous profits. It is organized by the Koch brothers, the preeminent funders of far-right political and anti-science efforts in the United States.

The Kochs suffer from Mad Billionaire's Disease - and we've got to quarantine it before they infect the body politic any further.

It's time someone puts the Koch brothers in "surveyor sights."

awesome! the gop sold its soul to top-tier corporations to the detriment of The People, who they are elected to serve. and yet people keep voting the gop into positions of power. when will the gop followers recognize this?

Why aren't you equally protesting George Soros? He is doing the same thing that the Koch brothers are doing except he supports leftists and socialists...oh wait, I guess I just answered my own question...

Stop buying Brawny towels and Dixie Products, Werryhauser. their locked in media arm is Fox and Murdoch .Demand the Congress repeal the Supreme Courts declension that corporations have unlimited rights to contribute as much money as they want in secret. Stop Republicans from trying to rig the next elections by GerryMandering ,changing Voter ID laws and truncating longer time periods to vote.The problem never has been voter fraud ,its that not enough people vote.

I sincerely hope that the Koch Brothers' meetings come under siege, and also their corporate headquarters should also come under protest - for the more we protest and shine the light on these swine, the better our chances of getting our democracy, and our nation, back in the hands of the people!

Whoo Hooo! People rally on! I wish I could have been in the crowd, then. It was a sadly warped day when the Supreme Court allowed that Corporations would be considered as a "person", allowing people such as the Koch Bros. to INFEST their money into many state and community run departments and facilities so as to RULE how they are to be run! srmunchkin1

Nothing brightens the world up like the good old fashioned conspiracy theory!

@tkdhav What does this protest have to do with jobs? Secretive billionaire lobbyists sure as hell don't create any jobs! All they are good for is rigging the political system and screwing over the American public. Maybe if we reinstate some campaign finance legislation, they'll start spending this kind of money on productive commerce instead - and that WOULD create jobs.
