Had I been able to ask my full question at the Koch brothers meeting, here's what I would have asked my Congressman, @RepSmucker…

Mr. Congressman, you're here meeting with an organization founded and funded by the Koch brothers, billionaires whose organization's mission is to gut our nation's revenue so that they can cut then argue that we have to cut popular programs like Social Security and Medicare…

The Koch brothers are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into our political system to buy off our elected office holders—people like you, @RepSmucker. You are bought, Mr. Congressman. You make time for them and you avoid the rest of us, your constituents.

We are your constituents, @RepSmucker. I am your constituent. And my question is this:

Are you, @RepSmucker consciously a mercenary for billionaires who are working to undermine our democracy and weaken the middle class? Are you consciously a mercenary because that's what it takes to get the campaign contributions you think you need to stay in office?
