Ok, not the actual Koch Brothers, but their minions. A very large ad in the Times News earlier this week advertised a “Town Hall” for March 27, 6:30, at the Beaver Run Rod and Gun Club, 676 Stewart Creek Road, Lehighton.
The “town hall” is sponsored by the AFP (that’s American’s for Prosperity, the Koch Brothers PAC legalized by the “Citizens United” decision of the Supreme Court that said corporations were persons) and the Lehighton 9/12 Project, the group that believes that local property maintenance ordinances are a U.N. plot.
The Koch Brothers, by the way, are the second and third richest Americans, billionaires who are destroying American democracy by buying elections.
The Thursday meeting is to drum up support for the “Paycheck Protection” Act, which would override contracts allow automatic dues deductions from employee paychecks. The Right always tries to fool people by giving their most repressive measures positive sounding names. The right name is the Paycheck Reduction Act.
I plan to be at the “town hall” next Thursday. I assume since the meeting was advertised in the paper with no membership requirements or entrance fees, anybody is welcome. I have a sign that says “Middle Class, Not Millionaires.” I’ll just cross off millionaires, write in billionaires, and I’m good to go. It should be fun.
