Ask yourself: What am I doing to help the Koch bothers become richer?
We all need to contemplate that from time to time, don't you think?

1. Never buy the following products
Georgia-Pacific’s familiar consumer brands in North America include Quilted Northern®, Angel Soft®, Brawny®, Sparkle® , Soft 'n Gentle®,
Mardi Gras®, Vanity Fair®, and the Dixie® brand of tabletop products. The company’s leading European brands include Lotus®, Colhogar®,
Delica®, Tenderly® and the Demak'Up® brand of facial cleansing products. The company also markets paper towel, napkin and soap dispensing
systems used in commerical settings.

2. Mardi Gras Napkins were the only product I bought from them
and as soon as I found out, I stopped buying them. Cloth napkins are better anyway.

3. Hopefully, nothing...I have been boycotting them...
for a couple of years now and recently started sending the list of their products to friends so they can boycott them too.

4. I like the way you present that, rather than Don't Support The Koch Brothers! Just
somehow a better approach. :thumbsup:

6. The sad thing is even if everyone stopped buying their products, they'd still be billionaires
Their wealth is that vast. We own a penny, they own a universe full of pennies.

They could close shop on all their businesses, and their billions will still grow if its invested well.

That said, I'll never buy brawny paper towels ever in my life.

7. They also treat angels as toilet paper.
At least ones that don't follow the, 'you gotta be hard' comment from the dead inside Burt Gordon. A terrible way to treat a lady.

8. The one thing we can prevent them from "buying" is their reputation
They are trying, even paying people to scrub their Wikipedia entries, but we must inform people at every opportunity how these greedy pigs are trying to steal our government, our natural resources, our rights as workers. Spread the word.

The Koch brothers are behind almost every movement to undermine our democracy, to prevent universal health care, to prevent paying workers a fair wage, and to prevent the protection of our environment.

Almost every thing they do has a purely selfish motive.

10. K&R - Ask not what the Koch brothers can do for you, but what you can do for the Koch Brothers.
