As the Koch brothers cheesy little autocrat Scott Walker sinks in the polls, taking the GOP with him, and the Koch astroturf group Americans For Prosperity shows their contempt for the average Wisconsinite, and desperation, by dragging in dimbulb Joe the Plumber to call the Madison protestors commies (who pays attention to this idiot anyway?), here’s something those of us who can’t be in Madison can do to show our support — hit the Kochs right in the wallet and don’t buy their consumer products! And, if you feel really energetic, write to your local newspaper and other media and tell them you are boycotting Koch products because of their attempts to buy our government.
Here’s a list of the Kochs consumer products to avoid, courtesy of Lauren Kelley of AlterNet.org. (Also, read her story, “How You Can Boycott the Kochs“):
