Don't you want to support the right-wing Koch Industries? Here are the brands to avoid

[johan helge]

About Koch Industries (http://www.good.is/post/climate-science-is-getting-koch-blocked/): "From 1997 to 2008, the company, its two co-owners Charles and David Koch, and its employees have funneled more than $48.5 million to groups such as the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and the Heritage Foundation, and crazy senators like James Inhofe, that fight against climate change legislation and promote climate change skepticism in the media. The Koch machine easily outspent ExxonMobil in this arena."


Here is a list of their brands - "which includes Brawny and Lycra. Don't use Dixie cups for your drinking games":

1. Good news

I don't use any of their products!

[soleiri]

12. Kittensoft????

Those poor kittens in Europe!

:cry:















:hide:

[LAGC]

2. OH NO! Quilted Northern Bath Tissue?

Isn't that usually the cheapest kind? Guess I'll have to start wiping my ass with the quality stuff...

[Historic NY]

8. Use Scotts more sheets for the buck.

[femrap]

23. Aldi's has a pretty good

toilet paper as well as paper towels. Viva are fabulous paper towels and I get them for 99 cents when they're on sale.

I won't give Koch one red cent.

[Inspired]

30. Target brand is pretty good...oh wait, I'm boycotting them too. n/t

[glinda]

34. Go pick some leaves I guess.....

[unkachuck]

3. thank you....n/t

[depakid]

4. K&R

[supernova]

5. I use the paper products

Rats. I'll have to find different ones.

Thanks for the list though.

[ezmerelda39]

6. Can anyone

list the companies supporting Fox News?  I would love to
boycott every one of them as well.

[david13]

7. I use none of those products anyway. dc

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

9. Two easy brand changes for me

Done and done. Thanks for posting this.

[TroglodyteScholar]

10. Nice...I'm already avoiding them, apparently. n/t

[BurtWorm]

11. Same here.

I love it when a fascist producer produces nothing of any value whatsoever to me!

:woohoo:

[LatteLibertine]

13. Great way to hit them

I strongly agree. I'd let them know why too.

These sort of actions along with voting out Wall Street lackeys are win/win.

Why should I do anything to support these clowns when they actively work against my best interest? As matter of fact their agendas are malicious rather than indifferent.

Fuck them. I don't need their garbage. Find another mindless consumer.

[TheKentuckian]

14. Excellent, boycotted by natural selection

[KT2000]

15. I see a lot of products that have

chemicals in them I do not want to be around anyway.

[lunasun]

16. THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE LIST!!!! nt

[MattSh]

17. Either these are extremely, extremely, profitable brands...

or this is not their whole product line, not by a long shot.

I can't imagine them having their kind of money and power only from this product line-up.

[Lagomorph]

18. Tip of the iceberg..

[onestepforward]

19. K&R

Thanks for the list! I do use a few of their products but no more!

[Scurrilous]

20. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Bluebear]

21. kick

[Quantess]

22. I have a lot of clothing with Lycra and CoolMax

but at least I bought all of it second hand. That doesn't count, right?

[20score]

24. Message sent to Koch Brothers, under my business name.

Because the Koch Brothers have so many products, this won't be easy to do. But because their political/anti-environmental efforts are so over the top and so harmful to the country, it will be worth it.

I will no longer use any of their products. And as long as they continue on their quest to destroy the middle class and the environment, I will inform as many people as I can on which products not to use.

[truth2power]

25. I just got back from the grocery. I needed napkins..

When I saw Mardi Gras I thought uh uh. Got another brand.

Every bit helps.

[ustilago]

26. We're already not using those products...

That was easy.

[rpannier]

27. No effort will be needed on my part

I don't buy any of that crap anyway
But, I will be extra careful not to buy it should a need arise

[guitar man]

28. Done

Their brands are now on my boycott list and I sent them this email telling them why:


I'm writing this to inform you I will no longer be buying any products produced by Koch Infustries or any of its subsidiaries. As a long time consumer of Dixie, Brawny, Northern and Georgia Pacific products, I must say I can no longer in good conscience contribute to David and Charles ' empire. 

I should not be surprised by anything like this anymore but somehow I still am when I see the depths of depravity that the wealth addicted robber barons in this country will go to in order to gather more and more into themselves no matter what the cost to society at large. I'm mean, they are already billionaires, WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT?!!

President Obama was elected by a healthy majority of average Americans in order to try and clean up the mess of the last 30 years of right wing lunacy. If the Koch brothers want to use their vast wealth to try and override the wishes of an entire nation I can only pull my support and cheer for their speedy demise. The world will be a much better place without cruel and heartless bastards like them around. Their contempt for everyone they consider "beneath" them is as sickening as it is Un-American

Sincerely,

29. You couldn't make up the title of their site: World of Koch.

I think they're openly laughing at us, telling us that they're fucking us.

Thanks for the list. We can stop them.

[DeSwiss]

31. K&R n/t

[DireStrike]

32. Oh, Georgia Pacific! Take fewer napkins from fast food places

Pretty much every napkin and toilet paper dispenser I've ever seen is stocked with Georgia Pacific.

Yeah, this seems like another un-boycott-able mega company.

[11tybillion]

33. thank you! n/t

[Javaman]

35. Well, I don't buy any of those products to begin with...

I guess a strongly worded letter to their corporate headquarters will do instead. Not that they will pay much attention to it.

[klook]

36. Holy crap! They actually *own* Mardi Gras??

Oh, wait -- it's a brand of napkins, not the annual "Show Us Your 310 Million Tits" ritual. Whew!

I have seen this before and made sure none of these products ever go into my shopping cart. Thanks for the reminder.

[northernlights]

37. damn. I don't use any of those products

now I can't join the boycott. Or maybe I've been leading it all along, and didn't know it? :D

[obxhead]

38. Densarmor.

That sucks. It's a great product. So much easier to work with than cement board.

[invisible]

39. I rarely, if ever, use their products listed.

I’m relieved to discover that I already rarely, if ever, use their products—at least not the brands listed. The question is, what do those S.O.B.’s have their fingers in that didn’t get reported on the list…
