Why focus on the Koch Brothers?   The Central County and Tri-Valley MoveOn Councils believe big money has taken charge of our country and the Kochs are major players in buying our country.  Charles and David Koch have pledged $395 million in campaign contributions for the 2012 election cycle, are major funders of the Tea Party and its candidates, spent $20.5 million on lobbying in 2009 and 2010, and much, much more. Koch Industries' Georgia Pacific subsidiary manufactures these consumer products: VanityFair, AngelSoft, Quilted Northern, Soft'n Gentle, Sparkle, Brawny, MardiGras, Zee, and Dixie (cups). They are also in the chemical business through former duPont subsidiary Invista with products including Lycra, Dacron, Antron carpet fibers, and Stainmaster carpets. For a complete list of Koch consumer, building material, and chemical and fiber products, see http://www.chailife.com/2011/02/boycott-koch-industries-avoid-these-brands/.

The Pledge:
I pledge to not buy products from Koch Industries and its subsidiaries and to ask my friends, family, and acquaintances to also boycott Koch Industries because of the harmful effects of the Koch brothers' political activities on the USA.
