Begging for More Money from Koch Group?????

ProgressOhio has a very interesting tidbit about Gov. John Kasich appealing to Koch's Americans for Prosperity group.

ProgressOhio:

Update: Apparently embarrassed after having this video of Governor John Kasich Thanking the Union Busting Koch Brother's front group Americans For Prosperity that they tried to keep secret exposed to the public the AFP has removed the video.  We'll be posting the back-up we made later today!

In an "unlisted video" which Gov. Kasich recorded using state resources, he tells the Koch Industries astroturf group Americans For Prosperity "... in the four months that I've been Governor, we've accomplished a lot in Ohio... in all of these efforts the strong support of Americans for Prosperity has made a really big difference. ...it's so important that Ohio's fighters for freedom, the grassroots leaders of Americans for Prosperity, continue to lend their support to the effort to get Ohio back on track."


Here is the video as linked by politicususa.com:

Every single time you buy a product that is produced by Koch Industries, you enrich these right wing buffoons.  As someone who posted a comment said, people should boycott their products, including the following, as provided by Substancenews.net:
