Yesterday, Koch front group Americans for Prosperity announced that it has signed on to a letter and “joined a coalition of 47 other groups in supporting the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s fight for free speech.”

In context, CEI’s “fight for free speech” means fight for perpetuating anti-science climate change denial. Little surprise there.

And then there’s the issue of the “coalition of 47 other groups.” That sounds impressive, but as it turns out, essentially every single one of the 47 groups is Koch-affiliated. 43 of the 47 groups that signed on the letter defending climate change denial are Koch linked — and 28 of the organizations are either Koch front groups or the beneficiaries of regular Koch funding.

We know Charles and David love feigning grassroots support for their selfish agenda, but this is just ridiculous.
