This should be sent to EVERY Sunday gop proaganda talk show, where the gop has an open mike to spread false information. It should have a runner at the bottom of the screen, stating which companies are contributing to whomever is yakking.

How much did Turtle McConnell get from the Koch brothers to block EVERYTHING the President has tried to do?
