They are after your food stamps and other nutrition programs. They want Obamacare dismantled &#8230; and same for the United States Post Office, Social Security and housing assistance programs. They want prison populations increased and public education, gone forever. They want to house our parents and grandparents in homes where they decide what food and care they will get.  <\/p>\n<p>The Koch Brothers, the Walton Family (that owns Walmart) and their colleagues in <a href=\"http:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/what-is-alec-and-how-is-it-tied-to-the-gop\/\">ALEC<\/a> want America to experience the type of <a href=\"http:\/\/meta.spcollege.edu\/index.php\/poverty-in-victorian-england-charles-dickens-oliver-twist\/\">crushing poverty portrayed by Dickens<\/a> in Victorian England.<\/p>\n<p>Your first defense against these monsters: to vote in politicians who are community minded and responsive to the needs of the people they serve \u2013 by voting out politicians loyal to their interests. No excuses about why you shouldn&#8217;t vote! Giving up your vote is the same as giving 2 votes to people who want to make you suffer: when one of those people cast his\/her vote \u2013 and you failed to balance out the election results with your own vote \u2013 you just gave their vote double power.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, boycott. The sad truth is that a lot of these people&#8217;s wealth comes from selling us toilet paper, cleaning products and items like these. So learn <a href=\"http:\/\/greenwei.com\/blog\/boycott-companies-that-spend-against-equality-and-justice\/\">what products their companies make<\/a> \u2013 and don&#8217;t buy them. Ever. Once they get their hands on it, your money will be used against you, in every possible way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bernie Sanders lays out exactly what the Koch Brothers want.
