Dear Common Dreams Readers:
Common Dreams is a small non-profit that exists only because of the support of our readers. No advertising; no paywalls: our content is free. But our costs are real. A free and independent press is essential to the health of a functioning democracy. Independent journalism and democracy itself have never been more fragile, more at risk than now. Without your support, we will not exist. Will you join again with those readers who have come forward to make sure Common Dreams has a future? Every donation makes a difference.

A rundown on the five senators - Coburn, Crapo, Hatch, Rubio, Johnson - and 40 Congressional representatives who got a perfect 100% score from the Koch brothers’ astroturf group Americans For Prosperity (and got lots of money in exchange) for their votes on climate change, health care, ending Medicare and opposing pretty much any regulation. From ThinkProgress.
