Working to soften his partisan image, conservative billionaire Charles Koch's industrial conglomerate this week will launch a television and digital advertising campaign that calls for Americans of all political stripes to "end the divide" as he seeks broader support for his free-market ideas and defends his corporate brand.
The advertising, which starts Friday, aims to "get a national conversation going," Koch told USA TODAY. "Let's stop attacking people we disagree with and trying to silence them. Let's instead try to find common ground and learn from each other so we can innovate."

Really, Charles. Quit wasting your money on this idiotic stuff. You should be sending a check to the Mises Institute instead where a difference is being made.
The new 60-second commercial initially will air on news programs and expand to sports and entertainment shows, said Steve Lombardo, who oversees communications and marketing at Koch Industries, according to USA Today,
