Who are the billionaire Koch brothers?

Who are the billionaire Koch brothers and how much are they spending on the tea party, right-wing causes, and California's Prop 23? On the next Your Call, as the election season kicks into high gear, we'll talk about the hundreds of millions of dollars being spent to influence state and national races. Join us at 11 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Spending by outside groups has exploded since the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United. How transparent is this and what does this mean for the future of campaign finance reform? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Jim Hightower, a radio commentator, writer, and author

Peter Stone, who covers a wide array of lobbying and campaign finance issues in Washington for Center for Public Integrity
