The billionaire Koch brothers and their political network are planning to spend almost $300 million during the 2014 election cycle, some of which will go toward a renewed effort to combat unprecedented carbon regulations unveiled by the Obama administration last month.
According to The Daily Beast, industrialists Charles and David Koch will advance a new energy initiative this weekend at a California resort featuring Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and libertarian political scientist Charles Murray. While its scope isn't clear yet, the group will be spearheaded by the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, a 200-member organization that has funneled millions of dollars to various nonprofits in the Koch network.
The new push comes in the wake of proposed EPA regulations that would cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by 30 percent. It also follows a February announcement from billionaire liberal investor Tom Steyer, a major advocate against the Keystone XL pipeline, that he will be undertaking his own $100 million initiative to make climate change a key issue in 2014.

we are no longer a part of American policy we are subjected to who has the most money is king, but that dynamic exist because of our indifference through the years to political processes we have created our own despair by not showing up, standing up to be counted.  we did however do this in 2008 and 12 we need to get that third time charm on and take the country not back but where it has claimed to be.  Pres. said "we are the change we've been waiting for"  that scares a lot of people but we are the new majority strength in numbers we already know we can because we have twice.
