Ohio is about to be the 14th state to pass a law threatening fossil fuel protesters with long jail sentences and crushing fines.
The bill holds groups like churches liable for individual protesters, and could bankrupt tiny congregations in Appalachia.

Today, decades Citizens for a Sound Economy was reformed as Americans for Prosperity, AFP continues to attack the USPS.
The CARES Act could keep USPS afloat, during unprecedented stress from #COVID19.
AFP wants CARES, & USPS, to die, as for-profit corporations are bailed out.

Note correction to this Tweet at end of thread:
x.com/KOCHdocs/status/128134…
AFP opposes the *HEROES Act,* aka HR 6800.
(The CARES Act already passed, that was the first big COVID relief legislative package.)
And, Tweet was missing a word: "Today, decades *after*..."
Sorry!
DERP. CORRECTION:
I meant the *HEROES Act* the pending Congressional bill that includes relief for Postal Service, during the COVID-19 & related economic crisis:
naps.org/Post/Heroes-Act-Wou…
The tweet w AFP letter was about HEROES Act.
Not the CARES Act.
My error!

Citizens for a Sound Economy did PR for Koch's unpopular ideas.
(Today, it's called "Americans for Prosperity.")
CSE had a symbiotic relationship w the Reagan admin.
Fink was appointed to Reagan's Privatization Commission, and USPS was targeted:
