ENJOY some of the best whistleblower work ever!
All the usual suspects are involved, The Koch Bros, ALEC and other sociopaths running free.
"Leaked documents from the free-market conservative organization The Heartland Institute reveal a plan to create school educational materials that contradict the established science on climate change.
The documents, leaked by an anonymous donor and released on DeSmogBlog, include the organization's 2012 fundraising plan. It lists Heartland Institute donors, from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation (established by Koch Industries billionaire Charles G. Koch), to Philip Morris parent company Altria, to software giant Microsoft and pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly.
The climate change education project is funded so far by an anonymous donor who has given $13 million to the Institute over the past five years. Proposed by policy analyst David Wojick, who holds a doctorate in epistemology and has worked for coal and electricity generation companies, the project would create education "modules" written to meet curriculum guidelines for every grade level."
On an update, the usual suspects released an attack on the whistleblower calling the action "criminal."
They have NO shame- none at all.

on the 14th, the suggestion was made to move the information over to GD- )

(17,162 posts)If not, bookmark for later- it is a dream come true
as far as revealing the Koch bros and their nefarious
plans for our country.
It's a tell all, really it is.
ESPECIALLY the PDF of their budget and "projects."
Therefore, a shameless self kick.

their corporate influence in our government, THIS is our chance.
