'Citizens United' And The Koch Brothers (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Everyone knows the story of big money blowing up in American politics.  It’s happening again right now, for mid-term elections and the 2016 vote ahead.  Filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin went out to show how it really works, on the ground.  Not just big money.  Super-sized money.  They named their documentary “Citizen Koch” – as in the billionaire Koch brothers.  Then things really got hairy.  Funding pulled.  Kickstarter to the rescue.  The push for a constitutional amendment on campaign spending.  This hour On Point:  giant money in our politics and “Citizen Koch.” / Tom Ashbrook
