miriam_eI just became a backer for the Kickstarter project to fund completion of the film "Citizen Koch" about the terrible effect big money is having on politics in USA. It was on track to completion and to be aired over the public broadcasting network, but support was pulled because networks were afraid of upsetting billionaire donor David Koch, who has donated $23 million as a board member of two flagship PBS stations, WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Ironically this is exactly the kind of silencing and buying up of democracy by the mega-rich that the film is about.

There are 26 days to go. They've already exceeded their Kickstarter target so further money sends a message as well as helping them distribute the film more widely.
