It’s time for a little Koch Brothers jiu-jitsu on the left, in particular former Labor Secretary Robert Reich. Over at MoveOn.org, Reich has launched a petition for people to sign to publicly “denounce’ and “condemn” the Koch Brothers for making their legal political donations. As Bookworm put it,
So far, 202,240 people have signed a document that could easily have come from the revolutionaries in China during Mao’s deadly Cultural Revolution (Nien Cheng’s Life and Death in Shanghai vividly illustrates that terrible time); or from the Kremlin during the height of Soviet Kangaroo trials; or from East Germany’s Stasi state (see, e.g, the harrowing film “The Lives of Others“); or from Cambodia when the killing fields ran red with blood; or from Maduro’s Venezuela; or from any other totalitarian political organization that maintains power by targeting and denouncing individual citizens so as to sow fear in and gain control over the general population.
Naturally, this effort is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but nevertheless you might want to check it out here. https://www.change.org/petitions/the-american-people-denounce-and-condemn-billionaire-tom-steyer The text of the petition is below, but to sign it, you must go to the link.
MoveOn.org is hosting a petition that Robert Reich authored urging the American people to denounce the Koch brothers "for using [their] vast wealth -- more than the combined wealth of the bottom 40 percent of Americans -- to corrupt our democracy.”

Last night when Megyn Kelly did a seg on Steyer and the pipeline I thought:
“You wont see McConnell on the Senate floor going after Steyer, like Reid went after Koch”
On The Left 202,240 signatures. On The Right 74 signatures. That was a Good Idea.
Robert Reich is a scumbag bump for later....
We should start asking the pro-abortion people how many Martin Luther Kings have they killed so far. Now that’s Jujutsu.
” Robert Reich authored urging the American people to denounce the [Jews] influencing elections”
Reich. How appropriate.
Stand up Robert and tell us how you really feel. Oh, wait, he is standing. My bad.
I suspect Reich will come up a little short.
I wonder how many Soros funded groups are joining in to end political activities of billionaires.
Reich is a suppository.
Why stoop to Reich’s level? :)
Be careful, Robert might just jump up and punch you square in the knee. :)
Robert Reich said = Also Sprach Der Giftzwerg.
PS Giftzwerg = poisonous dwarf.
I will bet not one of those idiots who signed know anything about the Koch brothers or Koch industries. Not one.
The Koch brothers primary political organization is Americans for Prosperity, but I do not find it listed among the top PACs or lobbying groups or donors to specific campaigns. How is their money then spent, and how does it compare to other groups?
Will Reich do the same about Soros?.
Find some violation of the law Steyer did, turn him in, and then have a press release about him breaking the law.
