Dear MoveOn member,
<b> </b>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
<b> America has a Koch problem—and it's coming to a head this November.</b> </div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
Right-wing oil billionaires Charles and David Koch are two of the wealthiest people in the world.<sup>1</sup> They don't
hesitate to buy politicians and policies that advance their own business interests. Thanks to the Supreme Court's Citizens
United and recent McCutcheon decisions, there's virtually no limit on what they can spend.</div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
The Koch brothers are gearing up to pour at least $125 million into November's elections—backing candidates who'll
vote to decimate Social Security, overturn voting rights, block any shot at curbing global warming, and make it impossible
for people to get health care or earn a decent wage.<sup>2</sup></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
In order to neutralize the Koch brother's pernicious impact on our democracy, we must first understand it. That's why <b>MoveOn
members are gathering on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 at hundreds of "America Has a Koch Problem" movie
parties</b> to watch <i>Koch Brothers Exposed: 2014 Edition</i>, the critically-acclaimed new release from our friends at
Brave New Films. After the film, we'll begin planning a powerful nation-wide campaign to end the Koch brothers' toxic influence
on our democracy.</div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
<b>Will you host an America Has a Koch Problem<i> </i>movie party in Mendocino on Saturday, June 28 or Sunday, June 29?
After you plan your event, we'll mail you a free, limited-edition DVD!
<br>

<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
Charles and David Koch—alone—were responsible for one quarter of all the private money spent to influence the
2012 election.<sup>3</sup> Yet even with all their money, things didn't turn out exactly as Charles and David thought they
would in 2012. The progressive community's field efforts were stronger and more strategic, our message to the American people
more compelling.<sup>4</sup> Now, as the Kochs scramble to figure out what went wrong, they're feeling the wear and tear
that comes from an American public fighting hard for the future of our nation.<sup>5</sup></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
<b>It's the perfect time to turn up the heat. </b></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
We'll sit down at the end of June to watch <i>Koch Brothers Exposed</i> so that we can stand up together and fight back.
Because when we fight back, we win.</div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
Hosting a movie screening is easy and rewarding. <b>We'll
provide an online guide, invite MoveOn members in your area </b><b><b>(and help you recruit other folks to join)</b>, and
supply you with creative ideas for effective local Koch-free organizing.</b>

<b>Will you join me and host an America Has a Koch Problem movie party in Mendocino on June 28 or 29?</b>

I know this work can feel daunting. But for the first time, the problem of big money and corporate corruption in U.S. politics
has a public face: the Koch brothers, two of the wealthiest Americans who are fueling the demise of everything that you and
I—and millions like us—cherish about our nation.<sup>6</sup></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
<b>That's why, across the country, courageous people are fighting back!
</b>
<br></div>
<ul>
<li>
Just last week, hundreds of MoveOn members and allies in New York took this fight to David
Koch's front door, staging a bold block party where they projected <i>Koch Brothers Exposed</i> on the side of his swanky
Park Avenue apartment building.<sup>7
</sup>
<br>
</li>
<li>
In Wake County, North Carolina, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a Koch-driven political advocacy organization, led a public
school board takeover which effectively ended student busing and resegregated the schools. Thousands of parents and students
fought back and voted out the conservative slate!<sup>8</sup>
<br>
</li>
<li>
In Detroit, Michigan, community members and legislators fought off a Koch-funded effort that would have cut the pensions
of Detroit workers and sold off the city's precious art collection. Community organizing focused a harsh, national spotlight
on the Kochs.<sup>9</sup>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
We're building a diverse and dynamic movement to beat back the Kochs' ultra-conservative ideology—and this summer,
we're stepping it up.
<br></div>

</a>
<br></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
<b>This summer, we'll tell the Koch brothers that America cannot be bought.</b>
<br></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
Charles and David Koch will become the high-stakes poster boys for the corrosive impact of money in politics. MoveOn members
like you will make sure that politicians who take Koch funds feel the burn that comes from toxic money. Together, we'll save
the Senate in 2014 and lay the ground for dramatic wins in 2016.</div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
Here's to making summer 2014 a time Charles and David Koch—and all of us—will never forget.
<br></div>
<div style="margin:1em 0px;">
