I promised to send David Schafer a list of companies owned by the Koch 
brothers after noticing that the Unitarian Society of New Haven buys 
Georgia Pacific paper products and is therefore funding the Tea Party, 
at least according to Wikipedia: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries

The main consumer brands seem to be:

- Georgia Pacific and its brands, including Angel Soft and Quilted 
Northern toilet paper, Dixie paper plates and cups, and Sparkle paper 
towels.
- Invista and its brands, including Stainmaster, Lycra (and possibly 
Spandex), Cordura, etc.

So, just add those to all the brands you are already boycotting, including:

- Dell Computers, for privileged access to the G.W. Bush administration
- Pepsi & Coke, for contributing more to one political party than the other
- Altria, RJ Reynolds, and the other tobacco companies, and their 
current and former subsidiaries, including Del Monte, Nabisco and Kraft 
(General Foods, Maxwell House, Boca Burger, Breyers, Breakstones, 
Cadbury, etc.)
- Nestle, for its marketing of infant formula in the developing world
- AOL for its contribution to D. James Kennedy
- Bank of America, for robo-signing and foreclosing on customers without 
cause.
- BP, for being stupid enough to hire Haliburton.
and so on.
