INDEX [March 4th] Americans for (Koch's) Prosperity - a look inside

They say life is what happens while you're busy making plans.  This past Thursday I was waylaid by the fact that Americans for Prosperity has invaded our little eastern slope Colorado town with the intention of removing a much liked County Commissioner because she shows concern for the local environment and believes the Oil Industry should take responsible for their own messes. Though she's never voted against a well permit.  She is simply too green for Koch's agenda.  Next they want to kill a long overdue and much worked on county land-use code.

Of course, I'm familiar with Americans for Prosperity on account of my climate science work, but I've always avoided focusing on them because they were too big a wormhole for me.  But, they made it personal and I figure it's important for my neighbors to have a thorough collection of information available in one place.  I'll get back to this when it settles down.  

After a weekend of research Americans for (Koch's) Prosperity.blogspot.com was created these past few days.

Since the Koch's spend millions of dollars denying fundamental climate science along with many other things, I think it's appropriate to post my index over here.  Perhaps it will be of some use to someone.
