Koch political network to spend $300M to $400M over 2 years - McClatchy

The conservative Koch network plans to spend between $300 million and $400 million to influence politics and public policy over the next two years, intensifying its nationwide efforts in the initial years of Donald Trump's presidency.

Network officials disclosed their rough spending plans Saturday as donors gathered at a luxury hotel in the California desert.

Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch is hosting the event, which has attracted more than 550 donors, each willing to donate at least $100,000 each year to the various groups backed by the Koch brothers — a network of education, policy and political entities that aim to promote a smaller, less intrusive government. - McClatchy News

Propaganda that's just in time too. We need some ads telling us what a great job the KGOP is doing grabbing public lands for FREE!

The Kochs, and their propaganda outlets, are the real brains behind the GOP.

They have been remarkably successful at framing the debate on their terms.
