#afpaction — Public Fediverse posts

@IveyJanette The 10th is mostly Macomb County, with a nubbin of Oakland County (Rochester.)
His Democratic opponent Carl Marlinga almost beat him for the seat in ’22, When a Trotskyist (WCP) and a Libertarian each drew substantially more than the margin of victory. The same 4 candidates were on the ballot this year.
#MIGOP, #AFPAction and other slime have been mailing us non-stop junk for JJ and slinging the mud at Marlinga.

Billionaire #Charles #Koch, who turned 88 on November 1, is funneling his wealth into two #secretive #organizations that can continue his right-wing political advocacy for years.
Koch structured more than $5 billion in donations to exploit a loophole to allow him to avoid paying capital gains or gift taxes.
It's not surprising that Koch is familiar with the loophole — he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying to create it. 

According to a profile published in Forbes, in 2022, Koch donated $4.3 billion in Koch Industries stock to 🔸Believe in People🔸, a newly formed 501(c)4 nonprofit organization.
The organization is run by Koch's inner circle, including #Chase #Koch, his son, #Dave #Robertson, co-CEO of Koch Industries, and #Brian #Hooks, the co-author of Charles Koch's last book.
The organization is so new, it has no publicly available filings.

In 2020, Koch also donated $975 million in Koch Industries stock to #CCKc4, another 501(c)4 organization controlled exclusively by Chase Koch. (The organization's name is his initials.)
In its 2020 IRS filing, CCKc4 listed its mission as "N/A." 

But while little is known about the current activities of Believe in People or CCKc4, as 501(c)4 organizations, a large percentage of their assets
— in this case, billions of dollars
— can be spent directly on political campaigns.
Koch was able to make this money available for political spending without paying a dime in taxes

Koch's main political spending vehicle, 🔸Americans for Prosperity Action 🔸(AFP Action), spent $63,401,608 supporting Republican candidates for federal office, $5,576,858 opposing Democratic candidates, and zero dollars supporting Democratic candidates.
86.7% of AFP Action's spending bolstered candidates who were endorsed by Trump, according to a review of campaign finance data by Popular Information.

In 1989, the newly built Koch network was focused on one tactical goal—derailing the criminal investigation into Koch’s oil gathering operations. #CharlieKoch #KochIsEvil #KochIndustries #CKinstitute #AFPAction #GOPTraitors #GOP
