To: Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker
Boycott the Koch retreat!
Show your commitment to fighting back against wealthy special interests by refusing to attend the Koch Brothers' donor retreat.
Why is this important?
What do Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker all have in common?
For starters, they've all lamented the outsize power that special interests and big money hold in our democracy. They're correct to do so -- our next president will need a plan to put We The People back in charge.
But they're also all headed to southern California to a closed-door retreat this week, hosted by the Koch Brothers -- the poster children for how big money can flood our system, corrupt elected officials, and shut out our voices.
Instead of begging for part of the over $889 million the Kochs' network plans to spend on next years' election, any of these candidates could distinguish themselves as a champion of reform by rebuking the Kochs and their big money, anti-democracy agenda.
