Awesome! Deion Sanders DEFENDS and TEAMS UP with the Koch bros!!

by SooperMexican

Wow this is really cool. Deion Sanders is teaming up with the Koch Bros. to relieve poverty!? And he defended them before the media this weekend too!!

NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders announced plans Saturday to join forces with the conservative Koch brothers to launch a new $21 million venture to work on anti-poverty programs in Dallas.

The project, called Prime 5, will expand the Kochs’ work with two existing Dallas programs focused on building young entrepreneurs and reducing gang violence. Organizers plan to expand their support to other groups working in the city.

“Football and baseball is what I played, but this is what I am,” said Sanders, now a network sports commentator, of his focus on community work and the new venture with the billionaire industrialists.

Sanders and Evan Feinberg, who runs a Koch-funded group Stand Together, made the announcement on the opening day of a three-day retreat attended by Charles Koch and the hundreds of donors who help fund projects that advance Koch’s free-market, small-government agenda.

Dude. That’s amazing.

Sanders, who attended his first Koch gathering earlier this year in Indian Wells, Calif., said Koch and his brother have been “targeted unfairly.”  He described the Kochs as a family with the “desire to make this country a better place.”

The Kochs aren’t exactly conservative, they’re more libertarian. But we need more people like Deion Sanders – especially since he’s so beloved in the black community – to come out for liberty and innovation. This is awesome!!! 

Tweet at him your appreciation for what he’s doing – you know he’s getting a lot of grief from liberals for this.

Here’s the video they just put out:

I love everything about this.
