Insist the Koch brothers testify in Congress!

While I totally agree with the concept, how do you make psycho/sociopaths answer any question honestly?

On top of Old Smokey. Here is a partial list of the corporate charitable giving of tobacco companies in the US. While the largess is appreciated by the recipients, and admired by many, regardless of motivations, nonetheless, pointing out this generosity is not a very strong argument to throw in the faces of those concerned about and critical of the health hazards attributable to profiting from the promotion of cigarette smoking. Likewise the charitable giving by the Koch brothers is not likely to deflect critics of their plans to defy and dismantle environmental regulation and to buy elections and destroy labor and the middle class in this country.

AIDS. Tobacco companies provided funding to at least 42 different AIDS service organizations. The centerpiece of tobacco industry support for AIDS patients is Philip Morris with its sponsorship of the Positive Helpings program — support which provides money to aid the nutritional needs of people living with HIV.
Charities/Causes. Tobacco companies have supported a wide variety of general charities including: humanitarian organizations (Christian Relief Services), health and human services (including the American Red Cross of Louisville and Hospice groups) and disaster relief (Hurricane Floyd) — as well as legal services (Association of the Bar of the City of New York Fund).
Domestic Violence. Through the Doors of Hope initiative, Philip Morris provided grants totaling $2 million to 180 organizations across the country to support food and meals, emergency shelter, counseling and other aid to victims of domestic violence.
Education. The industry supported programs at colleges and universities across the country, including the Universities of Central Florida, Louisville, Kentucky, Rochester and Virginia, as well as Duke, MIT and North Carolina State University among others. The largest contribution identified was $3 million to the University of Louisville in 1996 for completion of a football stadium.
Environment. The industry supported organizations that promote the protection and restoration of water and land resources — and supported many environmental conferences, including the Drinking Water/Pollution Prevention Forum and the Keep America Beautiful national conference.
Festivals. The industry supported a multitude of festivals including the Kentucky Derby Festival and the Wisconsin Sesquicentennial.
Hunger. Tobacco companies made contributions to the efforts to fight hunger in the United States with donations to more than l00 local organizations, including the Helping the Helpers program, which provides donations under emergency circumstances to food pantry programs, soup kitchens and the elderly.
Minorities. The industry is a major giver to minority groups, particularly African-American groups, including the National Convention of the National Black Chamber of Commerce and art exhibits featuring African-American artists.
Performing Arts. Tobacco donations went to the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and the New York City Opera among many others.
Politics and Government. Dr. Siegel identified 12 events or organizations in this category, including sponsorship of trips to conferences and seminars paid for by tobacco companies. The tobacco companies also sponsored the Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates in 1996 and the annual meetings of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in l998 and 1999.
Sports. Tobacco companies sponsored a variety of sports events, including the Senior PGA Tour Vantage Championship.

HEY, LEFT-WINGERS! READ THIS:

"Mr. Koch, a billionaire who is perhaps best known for his family’s contributions to conservative causes, got a standing ovation from scientists, Nobel laureates and politicians of various political stripes as he opened the new David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he gave $100 million to help build."

Issa would never have them testify unless he could maybe bar any democrat member from attending the hearing.Yesteday was the sixth time they have called A.G Holder in on that gun deal gone bad on the border were an agent got killed and after thousands of pages of documents have,nt been able to come up with a big hit on the Obama administration.They have kept at this for so long and holder is investigating you kind of get the feeling they might be worried as to what he is finding out that would,nt good for them.

As if they would tell the truth to any asked questions! Like any oath they would take would have any meaning to those two evil scum.

Great post! I would love to see these Kochsuckers testify! They are a cancer on this earth.

Koch brothers have a vested interest in the pipeline project. But getting them to testify before Congress is impossible.
