How do we make the KOCH brothers 'impotent'

[Rosa Luxemburg]

I get emails daily how nasty the Koch Brothers are so why are they allowed to run wild? How do we dampen their spirits? Scandals anyone?

1. They're in their 70s, so scandals aren't going to happen unless

they're even worse than we already know. If they're found providing the infrastructure and funding for a large scale child sex slavery ring, that might do it.

They'll be on their deathbeds eventually, and there they will realize it was all for nothing, they'll go out of this world as naked as when they came into it.

2. and one can only hope

that they will be departing soon. With "citizens" like them, who needs enemies?

3. Keep voting against them in every election. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. It's a pity we can't match them

surely we have some rich donors?

5. We have plenty

of rich celebs on our side, but most of them seem to have other things to throw their cash towards.

6. Keeping the spotlight on them, getting out the vote, working to influence public opinion.

Part of the reason they get away with so much is your average voter or media consumer isn't going to be following the money, but they will understand it if you tell them that Mr. Potter thinks he's entitled to run Bedford Falls because he's the richest man in town, and he doesn't give a rat's ass about what happens to the Martini family.

So write letters to the editor, post online, call in to radio shows, tell people the Kochs financed X, Y, and Z.

Getting out the vote matters because turnout trumped both Karl Rove and Sheldon Adelson's efforts in the last election.

And public opinion matters because if society is moving on, they won't buy what the Kochs are selling, and they definitely won't want to be told what to do.

What's especially important here is not getting discouraged. The Kochs (and their influence and money) are finite. This too shall pass.

7. Sunlight

They use lots of groups and think tanks to operate but once you expose them and start linking the various groups to the bros, ordinary people can start lining the dots themselves.

10. Democrats need to expose them

8. They are Ford and Radel's drug dealers

9. Stop buying Koch products!

[Coyotl]

11. How do we make money impotent in politics? Change the culture.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. If we could only change the culture

[Coyotl]

14. We've been doing it every day for many decades now.

The "culture" is the sum of us all.

12. How?

Cut off their viagra.
