WASHINGTON -- A split is opening up between two forces that helped to
launch the Tea Party in 2009. FreedomWorks, a free market/limited
government advocacy group, released a statement Thursday criticizing the
move by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch to sue for
majority control of the libertarian Cato Institute.
.
"As representatives of FreedomWorks, a grassroots organization that fights
for constitutionally-limited government and individual freedom, we have
grave concerns regarding the potential damage to the cause of liberty that
will result from the dispute that has erupted between the Board of
Directors of the Cato Institute and various parties at Koch Industries,"
says the statement from FreedomWorks' top three officials -- Chairman Dick
Armey, the former congressman from Texas; Co-Chairman C. Boyden Gray and
President Matt Kibbe.
.
FreedomWorks worked hand-in-glove with the Koch brothers-funded group
Americans for Prosperity to help rally the Tea Party movement in 2009. The
two groups teamed up to sponsor the Tea Party Tax Day Protest that
followed a televised rant against government support for homeowners facing
foreclosure by CNBC's Rick Santelli.
.
Thursday's statement calls the Kochs' move a "hostile takeover" of Cato,
echoing words used by Cato President Ed Crane, who has vocally opposed.
.
Supporters of Cato suspect that the Kochs, who are shareholders in the
institute, want to seize majority control to pull Cato into their partisan
political infrastructure. The fear is that this move will turn Cato away
from its support for and research on positions outside the conservative
mainstream, including issues of the war on drugs, civil liberties and
militarism.
.
Bob Levy, chairman of the Cato board, told Slate's Dave Weigel, "This is
an effort by the Kochs to turn the Cato Institute into some sort of
auxiliary for the G.O.P."
