25. This is why we are fighting the Koch's and right wing in the wrong way...

Going mano-y-mano with them in political ads and elections is futile. They have resources and friends in media that make it easy for them to not only out spend Progressives but also to out shout them all day long. The ONLY thing that affects their thinking is hurting them in the wallet. A massive boycott of Koch industries products would be 100X more effective than political ads, debates or elections combined!

Want to bring Charles and David Koch back to reality? Damage their stock prices and watch them sing a new tune REAL fast...
