Billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch, often under intense scrutiny for their prodigious political contributions and prominent advocacy for various conservative causes, are back in the spotlight over a “voter information packet.”
Distributed to 45,000 employees of Koch Industries-owned Georgia-Pacific, the packet, obtained by the political magazine In These Times, includes lists of candidates supported by the company stretching from Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to state representative hopefuls customized for each of the employee’s home states.
The cover letter, written by Koch Industries President and Chief Operating Officer Dave Robertson, goes further into detail as to why the company felt it necessary to distribute the list of candidates. The handout also includes Oregon’s voter registration deadline and early-voting requirements.
