Read this article and please doubt the headline:

"Koch-backed network aims to spend nearly $1 billion on 2016 elections"--Washington Post

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/koch-backed-network-aims-to-spend-nearly-1-billion-on-2016-elections/2015/01/26/77a44654-a513-11e4-a06b-9df2002b86a0_story.html

NEARLY $1 billion? Pocket change to them. If the two of them are worth a combined $70 billion, and even 5% of that is liquid, that's $3.5 billion to spend, and that's only money they openly admit to having. $3.5 billion to buy the United States of America for your very own.

Cheap. VERY cheap. They'll probably send every cent of it if they think it means they win.

And we can't match it. Not in funding, anyway, not by a long shot. A LOT of work and some serious use of grey matter will be needed because the Orcs are spending more on their army then we'll ever have at our disposal.

We CAN do this. As seen in the 2014 midterms, we don't HAVE to--but we have just seen what happens if we don't.

are not the only people they want to enslave. In this regard, they're pretty non-racial.

If they get their way, it won't be fun...............for us.

A great many people need to get determined to stop these bastards.

Your last line works for me:

We CAN do this. As seen in the 2014 midterms, we don't HAVE to--but we have just seen what happens if we don't.
