the Koch brothers recently donated $500,000 to the Heritage Action Fund, a conservative advocacy group, through the intermediary Freedom Partners. Heritage Action Fund has urged lawmakers to place Obamacare at the forefront of their shutdown and debt limit considerations. The group even held a money bomb, asking for a surge of donations to support its efforts to ensure Obamacare is defunded.
What was their plan? To attach legislation to defund Obamacare to a 'must pass' spending bill, and eventually force Speaker (John) Boehner to act on defunding.
Thats a scenario that sounds uncannily like the buildup to the shutdown.
