The libertarian industrialist brothers David and Charles Koch spent more
on 2012 elections than previously believed$400-plus million, new
investigations have found. Buried in that reporting is an even more
intriguing detail: where and how their political cartel will campaign in
2014.
.
If you look at the websites of the Koch-backed non-profits identified by
the Center for Responsive Politics and mapped even more elaborately by the
Washington Post, telling tidbits sketch out the frontline strategy of the
Koch-backed wing of the GOP. Thirteen states are priorities, and social
media will be used for its propagandizing.
.
The Center for Shared Services is a job placement agency for the dozen
politicized non-profits funded by the Kochs. Besides the Washington
beltway, they are looking for nuts-and-bolts campaign staff in Arizona,
California, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Virginia. They even
have a Twitter page for hiring, at FreeMarketRecruiting.
.
The Koch groups, which railed against Obama and congressional Democrats in
2012, especially want to hire grassroots organizers and social media
experts. One group, the Public Notice, describes itself as an independent
non-profit dedicated to providing facts and insight on the economy and how
government policy affects Americans financial well-being. It seeks a
social media engagement specialist, who will plan, implement, and optimize
numerous paid advertising campaigns on diverse channels such as Facebook,
Twitter, Pandora, YouTube, Google, OutBrain.
.
This social media campaign position reflects a shift away from using
traditional broadcast media for electioneering, which political
consultants say will be the big trend in 2014.
.

.
The Kochs' cartel seems to be embracing this strategy. Voters and social
media users in its 13 targeted states may soon start seeing messages from
any number of little-known Koch-funded groups with anti-government
messaging. These include:
.
The 60 Plus Association. Founded in 1992, it tries to be the right-wing
version of the American Association of Retired persons, or AARP. The Post
found that it spent $4.6 million on ads against Obama, Obamacare and House
Democrats in 2012.
.
American Commitment. Run by a Fox News columnist, it calls for making
Obamacare voluntary, opposes minimum wage increases, and is
anti-regulatory, pro-fracking, anti-tax and pro-property rights. It urges
people to sign a pro-ALEC petition, referring to the American Legislative
Exchange Council, which drafts and distributes pro-corporate bills to
state legislators to push in their home states. In 2012, it spent nearly
$1.9 million on ads attacking Obama and Democrats and has online petition
drives against Obamacare and in support of the Keystone XL pipeline.
.
American Future Fund. This Iowa-based nonprofit spent more than $25
million on ads against Obama and congressional Democrats in 2012, the Post
said, saying that $63 million of its $68 million came from money transfers
from others in the Koch network. It has attacked the Internal Revenue
Service and Federal Election Commission for going after its apparent
violations of federal non-profit tax and election laws.
