The Centre for American Progress Action Fund has just released a new report on the Koch brothers and their tentacled intervention in Americanย politics.

The report documents the extent of the Koch empire as well as the Kochโ€™s known investments in anti-government think tanks and action groups.

And it shows how aggresively the Kochโ€™s have moved to buy political support from the new generation of anti-government Republican members of Congress, as well as how much they have invested in influencing stateย governments.
