Dislike the Koch Brothers on FacebookThis past weekend in Palm Springs, the Koch brothers -- billionaire, secretive, corporate polluters -- held a secret, closed-door meeting with the oil industry, the Tea Party and ultra-conservative, anti-environmentalists.

We need to send a strong message that we will not allow two radical billionaires to set a divisive agenda for our country.
