Wisconsin Anti Union Movement Funded by Koch Brothers

link here to article

The Koch brothers are the biggest financial supporters of Americans for Prosperity. They also were major contributors to the Governors election campaign. The "grassroots" campaign in Wisconsin and other states is funded and supported by Americans for Prosperity. They have also been active in organizing the Tea Party so that it can be more effective politically. The Koch brothers, along with other wealthy conservatives, also fund conservative "think tanks" that provide much of the commentary in the media. The funding of "grassroots" movements like Americans for Prosperity couples the work of idea factories with efforts to get out the vote in local elections. This is plutocracy at work.
