Alabama Law Makes It A Felony For Undocumented Immigrants To Have Water At Their Homes | ThinkProgress

Call for an Investigation of the Koch Brothers | DCCC

Call for an Investigation of the Koch Brothers | DCCC
After the breaking news that federal authorities foiled an assassination plot linked to the Iranian government, it’s even more important that we know the full extent of the ties between Iran and the right-wing Big Oil billionaire Koch Brothers.

More than a week after Bloomberg’s investigation found Koch Industries profited from doing business with Iran, House Republican Leadership has responded with silence.

This is unacceptable. We can’t let this stand.

Sign our petition right now insisting that House Republicans immediately demand an investigation of Koch Industries’ business dealings with Iran.

If we reach 150,000 signatures, we will deliver them directly to Republican Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor.

The controversial Republican billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch have spent untold millions bankrolling right-wing candidates and causes. Now they are the subject of the Bloomberg report that Koch Industries benefited from bribes to win business and sold millions of dollars of equipment to the Iranian regime, which is known for their sponsorship of terrorism and calls of "death to America."

This is all despite American trade sanctions against Iran and the country’s known links to financing terrorists.

After the new development that U.S. authorities foiled an assassination plot in America linked to the Iranian government, the business dealings of the Koch Brothers with Iran are all the more troubling and unacceptable.

We need to show grassroots Democrats are strong and unified in telling Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor they must immediately demand an investigation of Koch Industries and its business dealings with Iran.

Help us reach 150,000 people standing strong: Make your voice heard and add your name to our petition >>

Occupy Seattle/Portland has dropped from last 2 days as top story to second - BUT still growing. Seattle has submitted a list of demands to the mayor (who want to place them where he wants them, near City Hall) - Demands are a meeting with him, use of city halls restrooms, blankets/sleeping bags...There were a couple folks suffering from hypothermia last night - aide cars sent - all are fine. The ...group meets at 8 am - and expect they will still be in WestLake center next couple of days - they claim thru the weekend with planned free speech events (mayor wants them moved before weekend) AND at 2 pm - we expects a major student walk out of colleges, universities with students joining them at westlake.
Portland seems concerned about the attacks they do not have a message and are focussing on that today...
