Koch Bros Target Latinos and Youths

The Koch Brothers are on a mission to make people other than older white men vote for Republicans. Although they’ve already spent tens of millions on political races this year, they are devoting $300 million to target specific groups, including Latinos and the young. The programs they’ve backed include Concerned Veterans for America, which is currently running the “Defend Freedom Summer Tour” rock concert series. The Koch Brothers are also supporting the Libre Initiative, a group devoted to convincing Latinos that Obama’s healthcare reform will harm them, and Generation Opportunity, which targets 18-to-34-year-olds through college campuses and social media campaigns.
