A '''Koch puppet''' is someone who adopts or modifies political positions due to a desire to receive some of the money flowing from the [[Koch brothers]]' wealthy network of organizations and co-donors.  The Koch brothers' are estimated to have more money than [[Bill Gates]], and unlike Gates the Koch brothers spend enormously on politics.

Some Koch puppets are exposed by campaign or lobbying disclosure requirements, but most them are secret recipients -- or wannabe recipients -- of Koch funding.  '''''As [[talk radio]] has declined, most national talk radio hosts have become Koch puppets based on prior or hoped-for funding by the Koch brothers'''''.

Almost no groups have yet publicly disavowed funding from the [[Koch network]], but some [[conservative]] groups have spoken out against the influence and stood up against many bad items in the Koch agenda.
