In the illustration above, Koch groups like this are called "Astroturf Agents," "fake 'grassroots' groups to project an appearance of popular support for ideas and policies that benefit big corporations."
Why do the Koch Brothers have it in for me? Is it because Slate magazine called me "the most effective Member of Congress"? Is it because Business Insider listed me as the most productive Member of Congress? Is it because I introduced more bills last year than any other Member of Congress? Is it because I passed more amendments last year - in a Republican-controlled House - than any other Member of Congress? Is it because I stood up against the military-industrial complex over war with Syria, and won?
Or is it all of the above?
Look, it's clear at this point. Whoever ends up as the nominal Republican nominee in FL-9 this year is simply a placeholder. A proxy. A surrogate. It's going to be me against the Koch Brothers.As I explained yesterday, we need reach our voters, to dispel the Koch Brothers' lies. And whether we do it through TV ads, radio ads, internet ads, mail or even yard signs, it all costs money.
I need your help, and I'm going to need it all of the time between now and Election Day. Not once - all the time. If you haven't contributed to our campaign yet, then you need to start now. If you have contributed, then you need to do it again. If you aren't already contributing monthly, then you need to do that - because these rotten attack ads against me are going to run monthly, weekly, daily and hourly. And if already you contribute monthly, God bless you for that, but please consider upping the ante.
This is serious. I need you to pitch in. Every dollar counts, because I count, and you count.
Courage,
Rep. Alan Grayson
