* Students at Ohio State will be interested in knowing that Republican Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, is the anti-environment, anti-stem cell research, pro-bank, pro-Wall Street candidate, who wants to repeal several Amendments to the Constitution. That will make him very unpopular on campus!
*** Koch Industries, the company owned by the the anti-environment Koch Brothers, has contributed $6000 to the campaign of Republican candidate, Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist (see Open Secrets). Now the Koch Brothers are astroturfing with a group called RallyforJobs, which stages anti-environment, anti-green jobs, and pro-oil fake rallies. According to Rachel Maddow, a recent "rally" was held in Canton with oil company employees who were bused in for the event. The Akron Beacon Journal ran a story on the fake rally, and ThinkProgress exposed the true identity of some of the speakers. Besides being anti-environment, they claim that global warming is a hoax. ( Now you see why Stivers has received the financial backing from the Koch Brothers.)
