#CharlesKoch’s network launches $20m campaign backing Trump #tax breaks
Revealed: #fossilfuel #billionaire’s #AmericansForProsperity vows ‘herculean undertaking’ to renew and deepen tax cuts
The donor appeal calls for even bolder tax cuts for corporations that would directly benefit #KochIndustries, the energy and chemicals giant from which most of #AFP’s funding derives.
It is estimated that the #Kochs have benefited by more than $1bn a year from Trump’s tax cuts.

#trump was advised by his attorneys to return the documents but Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch advised Trump he could legally keep them. #JudicialWatch is funded by the Koch Network which also funds #americansforprosperity. AFP oddly enough is now running ads against trump’s Re-election. Hmm?

Today I went to a Florida Senate committee hearing that was packed with #AmericansForProsperity "dead souls."

They sure didn't look prosperous, that's one thing I'll say.

#AmericansForProsperity does not speak for me.

#Republicans win the Naming & Message wars consistently...& this is the EASY part.

#AmericansforProsperity should have been an org founded by people that believe in #SocialJustice, #Equality, #ClimateChange, #EnvironmentalProtection, just like #CitizensUnited should have been too -BUT IT'S NOT.

Wtf #Democrats? Get it together, hire a master PR. Owning names like these is more than 50% the battle. A tragically on-going opportunity miss on your part.
