WICHITA, Kan. – In the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Koch Industries, Inc. has announced it will donate $1 million for disaster relief efforts, giving $500,000 each to the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army.

In addition to the $1 million donation, Koch Industries subsidiary Georgia-Pacific is contributing its bath tissue and paper towels, and Dixie® brand plates, cups and tableware, to the ongoing relief effort through organizations like Convoy of Hope and Feed The Children.

In light of recent posts & biased news, I thought some good news was fair to share. Just sayin...

the bastards... how dare they

Let's burn them at the stake!!!!! Think of all the starving children that could have been fed on those paper plates!!!

Every big company invests in public relations. Koch Industries is very much in need of some good will. $1 million is pocket change fpr Koch Industries. $1 million is .03571% ofKoch Industries" net operating earnings in 1993. $1 million is less than 1 second's of profit earned by Koch Industries in 1993.

I could only do a small amount.

It's the thought that counts.

I just have to laugh a little at your inability to give any credit where credit is due...

Did your momma never tell you "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?"

Really? Really? I kinda feel sorry for ya.

Every single dollar from people who care does count...there is strength in numbers!

So, when Bill Clinton campaigned for Haitian Earthquake victims, you said nice things about him? Yes?

How about George Soros?

When I can't say anything nice...
Well, you know how it goes.

Until it is tax dollars from the half of the country that doesn't pay income tax and some of the other few who do and then there is no charity or caring.

Sandra Bullock gave a million all by herself. So maybe they are not so impressive??

You all just sound so bitter...and you miss the point completely.

This must be why we never, ever hear anything negative out of the right wing.

Maybe I did miss the point. We are supposed to be grateful to the Koch brothers for buying less than a second's profit worth of public relations.

I'm actually an independent and yeah, you did miss the point...

Well, I guess it sucks to be you.

Good PR and a tax deduction.

Here's to the Koch Bros for doing a good deed ... and one to Sandra Bullock too!

Were they born without a soul or what!?

Who really cares if it's a millisecond or 30 seconds of their profits? The point is they're contributing to a worthy cause. Who are you to judge what is done with the million or how it was gained?

Is it a good PR move? Yes. But donating 1 million dollars anywhere would have been a good PR move.

Some of you people are never happy with anything that's going on in the world!
