The list is a great idea!
When you think of it, this is the only direct way to fight these anti-American thugs who want to see the corporate takeover of America.
That is what is really at stake here. Wisconsin is their first move. One of the Wisconsin 14 described it as “an attempted hostile corporate takeover of one of our states.”
If that isn’t scary for most Americans, I don’t know what would be!

Great that you got the list together. Glad to know some of the consumer products I can avoid, but if everyone did that, it would mean little to those scumbag Kochs unless, based on their product list, worldwide construction ceases and all humans decide to go nude.
As a general rule, boycotts don’t do well against monopolies because what you don’t buy today, you will most certainly buy tomorrow.
The answer is new KINDS of politicians who will enact new trade policies, with high tarriffs on non-U.S.-produced goods, and no more tax benefits for US corps who register in carribean islands.
This is a long detailed list of stuff I don’t even know if I use. I can support the easy things like Brawny, Angel soft consumer products. But dental plaster, or building materials? I find these items more elusive. Therefore I think that a boycott of their products is unattainable. But another thought is shaming them by name and connecting them with the hate they have nurtured for years is a way to try to make them withdraw from the limelight and stop funding the hate they have encouraged in the past.
thanks Bill for publishing the paper products we can NOT buy. But all the other things we don’t have very much control over, building products etc. And seems every carpet has Stainmaster. Appropriate name STAIN masters Kochs are certainly a stain on my beloved country.
Thanks for putting this up. The middle class has to stand up to these people and show them we are strong and we have to hit them the only place that matters to them — their pocketbook.
I will print this list, forward the list and encourage everyone I know to NOT support the Koch criminal brothers in anyway. Their actions are a clear attempt to create a fascist America. These despicable, spoiled, clueless jerks who inherited their wealth are examples of the worst of humanity. If they were leaders or visionaries in anyway, they would be putting their gigantic profits into educating America’s youth to lead the green fuel revolution; but they are not enlightened visionaries…they are common, arrogant power tripping criminals who are committing TREASON against American citizens, the American environment and wild-life and the President of the United States. They belong in a deep dark prison right beside Gov. Scott Walker and Gov. Kasich in Ohio. Both of these new extremist right-wing tea party governors should be impeached immediately before they destroy their states!
Thanks, Bill! The Koch Brothers are great Americans. The fact that you left wingers, like the good little parrots that you are, are spitting out there names as your most recent talking points reinforces that. I am publicizing this list so more Americans can support the Koch Brothers in their effort to enhance our freedoms through limited government. See…you libs can do good deeds, even if you don’t mean to!
The only product that I recognize that I purchase and use is Quilted Northern toilet paper, and now when I wipe my ass I now think of the Koch Brothers. Oh man; I’ll have to switch to Charmin or something else now. But it is a good reminder of what kind of people they are!
Thanks so much from a teacher in Wisconsin…we definately have power in numbers. We definately have power in our pocket book as well.
thanks Bill Press & staff for this list….and thanks for all your info & coverage about WI
Bill,
Thanks for listing the products and industries of the Koch brothers. i pledge to buy none of the above. Great work. Love the show.
I am a small business owner here in Michigan, and I am printing out copies of your list and posting one on my shops’ front door! I don’t worry about any Fox snooze people, because they are buying their products from the local Chinese dollar store! I also boycott them!
Thanks Bill for all you do for the Progressive Liberal Party, and keep it up!
Always Grateful,

Great list Bill! Thank you Bill Press and the entire “Team Press” staff for providing this list of Koch Industry products we can boycott. It’s funny that the two terd-blossom brothers, David and Charles Koch, are into toilet paper. Everything they say is crap and they are one of the biggest polluters in the world. The terd-blossom brothers inherited their fortune the old fashioned way – they inherited it from their daddy, papa terd-blossom Fred. America should know how papa terd-blossom Fred “earned” his fortune. Papa terd-blossom Fred claimed to have invented an oil refining process called thermal cracking. He was promptly sued for patent infringement and the litigation put Koch Industries out of business. Papa terd-blossom Fred resurfaced a few years later and focused his attention on communist Soviet Union dictator Josef Stalin. This monster killed at least 20 million people, including 14.5 million that he needlessly starved to death, one million that he executed for political offenses and millions more that he sent to the “Gulag”. Josef Stalin liked papa terd-blossom Fred’s refining process so much that he hired him to work for him. Papa terd-blossom Fred Koch sold out his own country for profit and used his knowledge of oil refining to help and enrich a regime who was led by one of the most brutal butchers in the history of human civilization. America needs to know this! The tea-baggin’, Re-puke-li-con conservative cockroaches may have more money than we do but we have the numbers! Register to vote people then get your asses to the voting booths and vote – FOR LIBERAL DEMOCRATS! UNION! UNION! UNION!
Bill, thank you so much for publishing this list. As a person who believes in the free market and freedom of coice, I will make sure that I consume as many of these products as my budget permits.
When you get the time please publish another list of products or causes that others who are not progressive, liberal, leftists (or whatever the envogue term is for you people) support so I can follow suit. I will make sure that I don’t patronize Kristea’s Tea room in Berkley as I live in Detroit and I will let all of my libertarian friends know that Kris is one of your minions.
Thanks for the list, Bill! I’m going to work on it right away. Suggestion: Each of us who is a member of Costco needs to point out to the management of our local warehouse that we won’t be buying anymore of their Vanity Fair brand napkins, paper table cloths, etc. Costco sells a huge amount of these products and would have a major impact on this boycott project if they could be convinced to drop this brand from their shelves. My impression of Costco is that they are a very worker-oriented company and they just might go along wit this effort.
The Koch brothers – a Cancer on society. All of these products contain cancer-producing chemicals that we inhale in our homes and workplaces, not to mention wiping ourselves from top to bottom as well.
@Financebuzz. Ha. If you think that getting caught dumping 1 million gallons of high-ammonia wastewater into the Mississippi River is what being a great American is about, or getting caught stealing oil from the American Indians x2 and lying about it 24,000 times, or the 300 oil spills in Texas and 5 other states that leak into our waterways, lakes and ponds, or getting fined for exporting oil to Canada without a permit, or well, the list goes on– then I would hope you might re-evaluate what it means to be a great American. Easy to check their record on wikipedia.
Wow, Where are the products for the liberal democrats money man, George Soros? That is is so weird…
Thanks, Bill for the list. My wife is going shopping this morning, so I have printed it for her to take along. I find it ironic that so many of the Kock Bros. consumer products have something to do with crap. Seems strangely appropriate. To me, these guys are no better than the German industrialists who helped to support the evil, political wave that became the National Socialists. Doess that mean I consider the Teabaggers as an evil force in what is left of American “democracy?” Damn right I do. I see America entering a new dark age bankrolled by corporate bastards, banksters and bamboozled by corrupt politicians, Supreme Court judges and the contemptible liars at Fux News, all using the addle-brained useful idiots with tea bags hanging from their three-cornered hats as their storm troopers. I hope all the low-information voters and similar idiots who voted back into power the party that caused the recent crisis are happy with our headlong rush back to the 19th century when men were men, women couldn’t vote and you worked until you died … and if you couldn’t work, you died.
Bill, as a IBEW Local 134 Union member, many of our sister locals (neighboring) have Do Not Patronize lists of anti-union companies/industries to let union brothers and sisters to stay away from.
And it works especially when the offenders on the list change their anti-union ways (non union work) to become union work to get their name off the list.
It also works when other union memebers and IBEW union members take away their business.
Bill even some Wal Marts have caved in to have union electrical work. If Wal Mart caves it is working!
Recall the Wisconsin Repuablican 8!
Start the recall Gov. Walker petitions!
Already the Wisconsin Police has issued a press realease that they regret endorsing Walker!
Maybe this be the Watershed American Union Movement Awakening! Germany who has high labor costs also has high unionization, if one union is threatened all the unions go on strike and shut down the Nation!
The 2010 U.S. census stated that Union Members earn on average $10,000 more a year over non union. Plus in my union I get a defined pension for every year I work for a full credit. Plus thge Cadillac of Health Insurance that Sen. McCain and the republicans hate!
Boycotts dont work. Here’s my plan…What we do is go to the stores and destroy all DIXIE CUPS packages so rightwingers cant buy them either. Go ahead and open them all and spill all over the place. Soon Stores wont stock them because they lose money. This is the soft vulnerable underbelly of the corporations. Then we move on to Sparkle towels, etc..etc.
Thanks for posting this list. I will spread it around, and will talk with my builder friends about their choices of materials. If their stockholders and board see that their behavior is affecting the bottom line, they’ll hear about it. For many companies, simple negative publicity can often be enough to censure people like this.
Thanks for giving us a way to track the products peddled by these jerks. They are an example of the worst that a capitalistic society has to offer. They are not simply satisfied with being obscenely wealthy and powerful, they want to control the economy of this nation through their nefarious activities and associations with unscrupulous politicians. I am about to scour the house now to find anything that we may have purchased from their companies and make sure we do not buy those things anymore. We need more of this type of information so that we may truly vote our conscience through our economic choices.
Well, one thing my wife and I use that is on the list, is at least getting flushed down the toilet, after doing it’s business. That’s at least comforting to know the brothers are s**t stains, and …..well, you get the picture.
Keep up the good work, Wisconsin 14. You’ve got much support from your neighbor to the west.
I plan on using every single one of the paper products on this list. Every one of them. This boycott is idiotic.
Great list. Kudos to the Bill Press team. Unfortunately, Chevron and Union 76 gas stations dominate the Seattle metropolitan area. But I’ll do my best!
I will wipe with sandpaper before I wipe with koch toilet paper. So this is the stick, how about a carrot? Could we have a list of companies,independant businesses, and products that support the workers of this country and progressive causes? Thank you
We can make a difference, if we unite as one force, one people, one will.
Thank you so much, I will pass this on, so we can support, yes, support these products!
Thanks for the list. I already buy some of these products but will add some of the others to my purchases.
Thanks Bill for providing this list of products. I plan to buy as many of these items as I can. I am also sharing this list in a cut & paste version (I don’t want your web page to get more hits) to all of my friends so that we can all buy them in support of Governor Walker! Down with unions! Down with progessive agendas! Good job Bill, thanks for helping us out.
let us not forget the supreme court members who decided that rporations have a right to vote. over their individual vote.
If people do what they can in their little part of the world & don’t buy the toxic Koch brothers products….the sum total will add up. It’s better than doing nothing!!
I work–as a union member–at a huge multi-national corporation whose headquarters are on the eastside of the Twin Cities. Believe me boycotts get attention in the highest reaches of companies. Think for example of the recent flak over the Target Corp. donation to Tom Emmer’s campaign. Target took notice. This isn’t like the grape boycott of the 70′s, which was also successful, but took a tremendous amount of work to get the word-of-mouth going. This is the age of networking. Boycotts make a difference. The Koch Brothers’ products are now on record. I say: PASS IT ON>>>>
Bill, I love your list and I’m going to go out and buy as many products as I can afford with my recent severance package money. I have been brain washed to believe that it is in my best interest to work against my own best interest by supporting the party that caused this great recession. If it were not for the Koch brothers, we would not have the beautiful Citizens United decision that will soon turn us into an Oligarchy. I also say down with the Unions, because all they do is support the middle class, and not tax breaks for the top 1%. Supply side economics does definitely work for some Americans.
How ironic that half of the Koch gasoline companies have the word “UNION” in the name. By the was libertarians, the UNION won the civil war, if you don’t want to be a part of our great UNION, go to one of those great libertarian paradises, like Somalia.
@FinanceBuzz: it’s probably not a bad idea for you and your ultra-Con friends to stock up on the Angel Soft, Quilted Northern, and anything else you can wipe yourselves with before the Koch empire falls. It’s not healthy to be so constipated. I’m mean…I’m just sayin’…the stench from your camp is pretty obvious, evident by the national and international support of the Wisconsin “family” of protesters.
Many listed products have just been removed from my shopping lists! Thank you for this valuable information! I will surely pass it on!
Namaste
Many off brand products controlled by these vampires too. Looked at the bulk toilet paper I bought at a discount store and the name was not those listed, but still marked in tiny type as made or distributed by Georgia Pacific. To Michael above who wants to switch. Until my bulk box of Koch bros. rolls are gone, I just imagine their ugly, un-American mutant faces on each square as I use it. If we all do that, a mass effort to wipe them out, so to say, maybe the karma vibrations will have some effect. Ha.
Thanks for letting me know I will be SURE to PURCHASE as many of these as I can!!! Stand strong Gov Walker we are behind you!
This, in my opinion, is childish. And what about writing the book “Toxic Talk”, then engaging in it—seems somewhat hypocritical. What if people that do not agree with Bill Press boycott his sponsors, or universities where he may speak, or show up at book signing to disrupt? Maybe Mr. Press could attempt to put the “toxic talk” aside –this country has some serious problems.
If you’re in Wisconsin, you should know that PDQ gas stations sell Koch Industries fuel. They aren’t under one of the brands above, but they sell fuel supplied by Flint Hills Resources, a subsidiary of Koch.
Keep up the good work by letting us know whats going on and thanks for the list. Hopefully us poor folks can be of some help.

I had to pass this on. My 88 year olid mother says that the Koch Brothers should be into making toilet paper because “they are so full of shit.”
Thanks for the list. Will go viral among my liberal and union friends. All the Koch brothers think about is money and power so if we the people can shave a few coins from their pockets it is a good thing. Even if the boycott has minimal effect, it is the morally right thing to do. I cannot believe some of the fox droid comments on this page. Can we say brainwashed? Or perhaps brain-dead if they are minions of Beck.
Thank you for the information. I do shop at COSTCO and am glad I saw this before I used one of thier latest coupons for Vanity Fair Napkins. It will also be fun to take the list I printed off into Lowes and Home Depot so we can exclude products and perhaps defer home projects that would have to utilize their products. Maybe people who discover alternative products can post them and name the stores that sell them. That would give us a chance to buy in stores that sell other-than-Koch-related products.
Hey Bill, great list. I have shared with my facebook friends and other social networks. Now, how about a list of socially acceptable products to purchase. Buy American!
Independent Thinker Ha! It’s not toxic talk to fight back against injustice. Scott Walker and the rest of the Republican governors that are following his lead are committing injustices against the American people. What would you have us do? Roll over and play dead?
