The election activities of the infamous Koch Brothers raise questions and concern about the unlimited PAC $$$ unleashed by the Citizens United ruling. Even puppets and action figures are worried about the nefarious influence of these billionaires.
This 6 minute video, starring Vanilla the monkey speaking in surprisingly strong language, calls for all of us puppets and little guys to stand up to the Koch Brothers Bullies -- not for young children!
Disclaimer: A friend emailed me the link to this cute video this morning. I have no other connection to Vanilla or the Greenwald documentary.
Link the documentary website: Koch Brothers Exposed and some links to info about Koch Bros and AFP election activities below. Just to get you started . . .
Those of us who don't live in battleground states, or in Districts with significant Congressional races, may not have been exposed to the AFP mailings and Ads. But their influence, funded by huge amounta of cash, is broad and deep.
Vanilla's 6 minute youtube video, written by Robin Goodrow who also plays Vanilla,
is a creative promotion for Koch Brothers Exposed, the anti-Koch Brothers documentary from Robert Greenwald.
