Those great Ohioans, the Kochs
apparenty have a loud voice.
Americans
for Prosperity (AFP),
founded in 2004, is a conservative political advocacy
group in
the United
States.
Receiving funding from the businessmen and philanthropist
brothers David
H. Koch and Charles
Koch,
it is one of the most influential American conservative
organizations.
AFP
recently thanked our
Speaker Rosenberger for his efforts to stymie renewable energy
legislation.

ALEC
The
Koch brothers-backed group that helped launch the push for voter ID
laws and “stand your ground” statutes has a new project:
defending the anonymous “dark money” in politics.
Through
ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit
their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations.
Almost
98% of ALEC's funding comes from corporations like Exxon Mobil,
corporate "foundations" like the Charles G. Koch Charitable
Foundation, or trade associations like the pharmaceutical industry's
PhRMA and sources other than "legislative dues." Those
funds help subsidize legislators' trips to ALEC meetings, where they
are wined, dined, and handed "model" legislation to make
law in their state. Through ALEC, corporations vote on "model"
legislation with politicians behind closed doors.
Present or former members of ALEC
