KochWatch, website tracking the Koch brothers' money, etc.
Given The New York Times article ("Secretive Republican Donors Are Planning Ahead," at link below), I thought I'd check into the existence of a Koch Watch website, or start one of my own.

Well, it turns out KochWatch does exist, albeit in a very bare-bones form. See link below.

Koch Brothers

Billionaires Corrupting Democracy



Not much needs to be added, except we need to counter the boilerplate tea party/Koch brothers'/right-wing rhetoric that is crowding out reality online, on the air, on the pages of newspapers and magazines.

3. Are you doing your own site?
If you are intersted in a specific race/figure among the hundreds of races and ballot issues on this fall's slate, go for your own site, or find some others that are doing the work you're interested in.

4. I live 20 miles from Koch
international headquarters. They are currently buying a congressional seat and installing a shill. The site directed to only has one working page, the front page, all the other links go to blank screens...all except, of coarse, the tab for donations, that tab happens to work...hmmm
