Sierra Club creates giant 'Dislike' button for Koch Industries
By Nadia Pflaum

Quote:The Sierra Club just rolled out a new campaign calling Wichita-based Koch Industries "the biggest, scariest company you've never heard of." The environmental nonprofit's website features a series of "Dislike" buttons, each attached to an ugly Koch-related fact that visitors can post directly to their Facebook pages.

The Sierra Club's public push against David and Charles Koch's $35 billion empire comes at a peak time: The Wichita Eagle reports that nine new Republicans on the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee signed a Koch-funded pledge to battle President Barack Obama's plan to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases.

Here's a direct link to the "dislike" page.

Excellent start for The Sierra Club to get the koch brothers intentions more widely exposed! This news could well be a cross over in GP too

How do these folks get away with this stuff? I find it very difficult to believe such a pledge would get them votes in fact I cant understand how anyone could find this anything other than appalling.

I'm so glad they're being exposed. I guess that's all anyone can do?
