'Democrats should not be complacent. The 2012 elections are not yet won, and we soon will find out just how much half a billion dollars of Koch and Rove Super PAC money can buy. But things are looking good, particularly for President Obama. But Democrats still need to work as hard as if they were behind, right up through election day. And Democrats need to hold on to the Senate and win back the House. Unlike Republicans, Democrats can't buy elections.' →

If Charles and David Koch have their way, millions of eligible Americans won’t be able to cast a vote in 2012.

In recent years, the billionaire political operatives have used their vast fortunes to finance the drafting, promoting and introduction of model bills restricting people’s ability to vote, and so far legislatures in 38 states have introduced Koch Brothers-supported legislation. All told, this is the most aggressive and widespread attack on the right to vote since the voting rights restrictions that paved the way for segregation.

This week, Brave New Films debuts a new video shining the spotlight on the Koch Brothers and their role in the voting rights attacks. “Koch Brothers Exposed” is a call to action for all Americans concerned about protecting this most fundamental of rights.

Sorry, Republican Nutjobs - even uber-wealth does not create jobs.

A really, really good report from Rachel Maddow about the obscenely wealthy people in the USA…not only are they not creating jobs, but they are cutting jobs.

This is a must read.
