Salon links the Koch brothers, Charles and David, to the Con Con effort:

Entities funded and under the influence of the Koch brothers include:

  • the Koch Industries' KochPAC.
  • Aegis Strategic PAC. "Aegis Strategic is a Koch-funded political consulting firm ... owned and run by Jeff Crank, a Koch operative who previously served as state director for the Colorado arm of David Koch's 'Americans for Prosperity' operation.[3]

Other recipient of Koch brothers money include:

  • Heritage Foundation
  • Federalist Society
  • National Review (probably)[4]
