David and Charles Koch are multi-billionaires, and they think they can use that money to buy a government that will tilt the economic playing field even more in their favor. Toward that end, these extremist right-wingers spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2012 to get teabagger GOP politicians elected -- and it is expected they will spend just as much (or more) in 2014 and 2016.
It is time for ordinary American citizens to fight back, and show the Koch brothers that we want a democracy -- not a plutocracy with them giving all the orders. We can do this in a couple of ways. First, and most important, go to the polls and vote this November -- and vote against the right-wing Republicans being funded by the Koch brothers. If enough people show up at the polls, it won't matter how much money the Koch's spend.
Second, we can hit them in the pocketbook. Simply don't buy any products made by companies owned or controlled by the Koch brothers. If they are going to spend some of their profits trying to turn America into a fascist plutocracy, then make sure they don't make any of that profit off of you. Personally, I think this is something all moderates and progressives should be doing. Here is a list of Koch brothers companies and products (from The Fifth Column).
