From Kevin Grandia at DeSmogBlog, the teabaggers will be assembling in Portland to protest clean energy and green jobs.
Here is a partial rundown on the assorted Republican/Exxon infrastructure that underlies these fake events:
Highlights:
- AFP is the third largest recipient of funding from the Koch Family Foundations, manged by Charles G. Koch who runs the largest privately owned energy company in the United States, Koch Industries.
- AFP has also received money in the past from Exxon Mobil, who has been notoriously bad when it comes to funding groups looking to delay the movement away from oil to green energy.
- Tim Phillips is the president of AFP and has been fueling the anti-clean energy movement by making outrageous puiblic statements like, a cap-and-trade program would increases taxes by $1.2 trillion.
- Tim Philips spearheaded a direct mail, coalition building campaign for George Bush's campaign against John McCain in the 2000 primaries.
