Adele  David Koch To understand the reach of Koch into the debates of today concerning health care, cap-and-trade, and other issues, you have to understand the Koches role in creating Citizens for a Sound Economy in 1984, which since splintered into several groups, including Americans For ProsperIty, FreedomWorks and the Independent Women's Forum. While Koch chairs the board of the AFP Foundation, he can rightly claim that he gives nothing to FreedomWorks, chaired by Dick Armey. But FreedomWorks would never have come into existence without Koch's dollars, and the agenda FreedomWorks pursue, particularly in opposition to cap-and-trade, advances Koch's interests, especially since Koch Industries is known as one of the nation's worst polluters.
