Financed by the Kochs in part it is one of the few lobbying organizations speaking out for the citizens in general and not special interest.

They are very much against big government and corporate welfare.

Add you voice to their email campaigns. It is a small effort for freedom and small government you can make with little investment of time or money.

You're actively shilling for an organization, advertising without paying chicken for an ad. Usually, that at least gets the thread anchored, and sometimes ends in bannage.

How is that differ from shilling for a candidate or the democrat party in this case?

I am not "shilling" for a private enterprise or even a non political entity and this is a political board.

Americans for Prosperity is a private enterprise, as is its parent company Koch Industries. You basically were advocating for people to get jobs at Americans for Prosperity and to support their newsletter.

Damn, that's some stretch Armstrong level shite.

You must get tired of saying this anytime someone speaks highly of random businesses. The chic-fil-a stuff must have been a BANanza.

They're usually more lenient on the food board, but it can sometimes be enforced pretty harshly on the OT.

It actually was, but for a variety of reasons.

I second KingBob on this.

This thread is technically spam and unauthorized advertising of services/establishments without the admins permission.

Encouraging people to patronize their restaurants for political reasons was surely not one.

I'm pretty sure OP can vouch for a political organization on the political board. It's also not some drive by lurker, which may indicate a potential for personal gain.

In other words, relax, Bob.

It's a nonprofit charity per the IRS status- 501(c)(4)

If you can't promote political organizations you support on the pol board, then 90% of the posts would need to be whacked.

You really can't make this shite up...there is no way you could write that statement in a work of fiction and have anyone buy it....not speaking out for special interests because the Kochs are involved...that is worse than saying to keep your government hands off my medicare....

If they can get the ACA repealed and streamline the tax structure (things almost every Republican holding an office in DC ran on) then I'll gladly join.

Until then, hard pass.

The Koch Brothers are globalists who want open borders and free trade.

They are not for Americans' prosperity, they are for their prosperity.

Know how I know that you know nothing about the Koch brothers?
