Rep. Michele Bachmann is headed to New Hampshire next month to headline Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s third annual RightOnline Conference in Las Vegas. Americans for Prosperity is founded and funded by Koch Industries, a global oil refining corporation.
The event will be held the weekend of July 23 and will also feature Congressman Mike Pence, Radio Host Herman Cain, RedState.com’s Erick Erickson, The Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Moore and John Fund, HotAir.com’s Ed Morrissey, radio host Guy Benson, frequent Fox News contributor and comedian Stephen Kruiser, AFP Foundation’s Phil Kerpen, Fox News Contributor Jim Pinkerton, and radio host Curtis Sliwa.
Bachmann created this video to promote her appearance at the event:

I believe Koch Industries’ local branch is now known as “Flint Hills” – they run the refineries at Pine Bend, just west of Hastings.
They got nicked for a pretty good chunk of change in fines for lousy maintenance of their pipelines (sound familiar?)
and were allowed to pay part of it by sponsoring a bunch of feel-good events like international children’s music festivals at the Ordway.
The present generation of Kochs consists of 3 brothers, two of whom have been described by the third one as a pair of crooks who deliberately and consistently understate their supplied materials and overstated their deliveries. And these two are very definitely way over on the right wingtip, funding all manner of noxious enterprises.
Truly a pair of great examples of why we need to return to the Estate Tax as it was during the Eisenhower years – those same years they now think of as so wonderfully golden and glorious.
