Friend --
In less than 24 hours, Mitt Romney will speak at a Tea Party event hosted by Charles and David Koch -- the oil-industry billionaires who've committed to spend $200 million just to tear down the President.
But the Kochs don't really care about Romney.
They want to use their extreme wealth to replace President Obama with anyone on the extreme right -- someone who protects the oil industry's interests at everyone else's expense.
So, before Romney greets the Kochs tomorrow, let's send a strong message: Millions of Americans are standing behind President Obama and want to protect the progress we've made. More than 65,000 people have already pitched in to our Two-Term Fund.
Will you chip in $3 or more to the Two-Term Fund as Romney courts these two men obsessed with making Obama a one-term president?
At a private retreat in September, Charles Koch told a crowd of conservative millionaires that the 2012 election was the "mother of all wars," and encouraged them to give more than a million dollars apiece.
Then he said: "We are absolutely going to do our utmost to invest this money wisely and get the best possible payoff for you in the future of our country."
It's unclear what "payoff" Koch is referring to exactly, but given the brothers' penchant for making millions by jacking up prices at the pump, bankrolling Tea Party extremism, and spreading lies about climate change science, we can reasonably expect the worst.
If Romney's going to embrace the idea that two billionaires should be able to buy a presidential election to reap the rewards for their friends later, we have to fight back our own way.
It's time to re-open the Two-Term Fund.
Chip in $3 or more today:
