The refineries produce a wide range of transportation fuels for motorists, truckers and the airline industry. In the olefins plants, the company processes natural gas liquids into ethylene and propylene. In the polymers plants, those two products are processed into various forms of olypropylene, which are key ingredients in products such as consumer and healthcare products, packaging and other plastic products.

Bernie Sanders Speaks About The Koch Brothers
This report from the show The Young Turks explains that the Koch Brothers are backing a new organization trying to stop the rising tide of electric vehicle adoption. This would hurt petroleum producers like the Koch Brothers. The group is likely to run ads attacking the subsidies given to electric cars.
Koch is not paying for Zimmermans legal fees. This is just a rumor designed to help someone else fulfill their personal agenda. So when you get the phone spam telling you about this…reply to whomever sent it to you with a request for PROOF. Call Koch Industries and speak with media relations and get it straight from Koch Industries.
Rest In Peace Trayvon
As of Effectively my household, my friends & family household & also my company will no longer support this company or there products. It’s a shame cause we all use these products frequently throughout our daily lives…we are boycotting. It’s a shame you would support a disobedient killer of the law…the best thing you could do KOCH is make a public announcement or your involvement before your stocks take a major plung…think think think
Will NOT purchase another item that your company manufactures. You support a COLD-BLOODED MURDERER and I REFUSE to give one penny of my hard earned money to your company! I would rather pay more even though I can ill afford it!!! THANS
i’ll err on the side of not supporting their products…
https://www.kochbrothersexposed.com/
YOUR COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF IT SELF FOR SUPPORTING AND PAYING FOR THE LEGAL FEES OF A MURDERER.(ZIMMERMAN)I WILL NO LONGER BUY ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS.
The Koch Brothers products, and services should be boycotted before they kill America being one of the top 10 in polution. The buying of universities, like Florida State and most importantly the purchase of the Federal Goverment to make laws that protect them and not us will lead our country down a path we will not be able to recover from.
In the wake of the killing of Trayvon Martin, the Koch company is paying for Zimmerman’s legal fees. They feel he had a legal right to carry a weapon and shoot an innocent person. We are asking that people everywhere unite by passing this information on and boycotting the following Koch prodeucts; Angel Soft Toilet paper, Brawny paper Towels, Dixie paper/plastic products, Mardi Gras paper products, Quilted Northern, Sparkle, Soft & Gentle, Vanity Fair and Zero napkins. I will personally forward this email to the 148 persons on my email list and print 1000 flyers to be distributed in local churches the metropolitan DC area. Valarie Reynolds
Saying Koch is the biggest polluter is like blaming the sun for all the daylight. Maybe we should look at a chart that depicts the number of jobs they have created.
I will not purchase any product that has any affiliation with the koch brothers, you feel me !!!
@brian. Except we need sunlight to live; we don’t need pollution, nor do we need to be exploited, by the likes of the Kochs.
They steal oil from individual American Indian families three barrels here, four barrels there. This is well documented, Brian.
I literally cannot believe how stupid some people who have left comments on here are.
But its okay, I’ll carry on making money out of them.
Before you jump on the ‘koch are paying for zimmermans legal fees’ bandwagon – https://www.thatsnonsense.com/view.php?id=1539
I refuse to buy from a company that supports Zimmerman …and I will be posting only FB
Thank you, thank you, I’ve been looking for a list of Koch products in order to boycott them. When will we start calling these creeps ‘traitors?’ They hate the working class (the USA in particular,) they are destroying our country all in the name of greed. Thank you again.
You must understand that boycotting the Cokes is an excercise in futility. All they have to do is sell the companies to a front. Or they may sell the company and buy stock in NYT, Wall St. J, Washington Post, Fox, NBC, etc. Not to mention Obama and Hillary. I do applaud your effort. I suspect that unless we have a certain degree of commotion ala France 1889, Russia 1917, Cuba 1959, nothing will change. What you think?
I received an email saying that you guys are paying 4 his fees?? well shame on u if it is true because if he would have did what the dispatcher told him to do he would not be in this position now but since he decided to be an unlicensed police and take matter in his own hands he got what he DESERVE so LEAVE HIM BE… If this was ur fam u would not agree with this, this kids was minding and if he wasnt he should have let the REAL police handle it.
People might want to do a little research before they jump to conclusions.

I can not figure out ow to ‘share’. What do I need to do. How do I share this info?
It was printed as Zero brand. Is it really ‘Zee’ brand? I want to get this right.
I went to Snopes.com and Koch’s Director of Corp. Communications says the rumor that started online Apr. 8th. isn’t true. However, the office of Zimmerman’s attorney has responded to the request for a comment. So, used the paper products of your comfort and if rumor becomes truth then use other products.
Oops! The office of Zimmerman’s attorney HASN’T responded yet to whether Koch’s is paying George’s legal fees.
I am organizing a boycott of these products in my neighborhood, North Pullman,Chicago,il..so far I have gotten a lot of positive responses,,what else can we do?
They are dominating repulican politics with their money
Thanks for the boycott and i will make sure my company join in the boycott. Your money is important to you and you should stand up for what right. These Koch Brother is rich with money and had no power to help real people in need and they is not happy because they don’t have good spirit in their heart. Pray for them and may God continue to bless.
Republicans have been bought by the Koch brothers! PRESIDENT Obama has tried to bring both parties together and yet the republican party yelled and screamed and acted like children for the entire 4 years which made them look dispicable.This is the UNITED STATES. Do you know what UNITED MEANS? The CROTCH brothers or Koch brothers are disgusting vile brothers who wants to control people with their evil poluting money! This is the true face of EVIL!
But NOBODY has the right to TAKE A LIFE.I will no longer purchase ANY of your products…and I have been a loyal customer for 32 years. Treyvon Martin was a 17 year old CHILD going home in the rain. George Zimmerman is a FGGT…and so is EVERYONE in your company for supporting this PC F SHT. I don’t wish you bad, but from now on you have completely lost me as a customer. And I am going to spread the word around.

I DON’T USE YOUR PRODUCTS ANYWAY, AND IF YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH DEFENDING ZIMMERMANN I’M GLAD I DON’T AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY THAT KNOW ME KNOWS ABOUT THIS. THERE IS POWER IN INFORMATION!
This issue is terrifying. If your children wore a hood on their head, walked in your neighborhood, would you feel justified if Zimmerman shot and killed your teenager? The answer must be yes, why else would you foot the bill for his legal fees. Thanks, now I can stop using your products, and stop as many people in San Antonio from using them also. Your actions speak louder than his. I hope one day your love ones are protected from people like Zimmerman. I pray that your family does not have to suffer the loss of a child like the Martin family has. I am active NRA member, yet I would not take the law into my own hands. I will pray for you and your families. My money will never be used to purchase your products. Ask Exxon how it feels to have half the country boycott their company for years.
I understand that your company is paying for Mr. Zimmerman’s legal fees. Please be advise that my money will no longer be used to purchase any of your products and I will advise all of my family, freinds and colleague to do the same.
I was appalled to learn that you use your vast wealth to defend an alleded murderer, without apparently investigating the case. Your support of far right causes is well known and a disgrace. I will discontinue using any product that your names are associated with. You represent the worse there is in our Country believing that money buys respect for others by disgracing them.
I would not buy any of your products until you stop defending George zimmerman.
I thank you for this information god bless you for the courage to do the right thing to do. Now that i have this information i will no longer support them because they are supporting the killer of Trayvon Martin. And I will be posting this on facebook and telling and emailing everyone that i know and love. Because when you know better you do better!!!
Don’t worry about the Koch brothers their work is not going to prosper i am not going to let them use their wealth to destroy the people their money is not going to prosper anymore.They have used their money to come up against the good that should be dune.Don’t worry i am not going to let them use their money to destroy the people.(God spoken word) Saturday April 28th time 5:35 am.Those Who Believe The Words Of The Lord Will {PROSPER] GOD BLESS
These men are a piece of work…
what do they make for store brands for wal mart, target, walgreens, dollar stores etc.
First of all, you invested in a murderer!!! Also, you want to spend millions trying to rig an election!!! you also use money to influence colleges to your wants which is not even in the best interests of the students!! three strikes you are OUT!!!! i feel sorry for you! guess you plan on buying your way into Heaven too!!!
Like Konnie I also want to know what private label brands are made by these human vermin who are he**bent on replacing democracy with deKochracy.
When you buy, say a HomeLife product at many retailers such as Jewel/Osco etc it will just say DISTRIBUTED BY Albertsons, Inc., *not* ‘made by.’ E.g., my Osco Equaline and WalMart Equate shampoos are clearly the identical product, but give no clue as to who makes it, only who it’s made FOR. I’d have to believe the same must be true for say Private Label paper products — could very well be Georgia Pacific in disguise, no? I’d rather gargle with acid than buy anything made by the despicable Kochs.
Thank God for the Koch Brothers. True patriots intent on saving free enterprise and our American way of life. All the rest of you slackers can move to Europe and take your freeloader Obummers with you.
Hi Konnie and Rick,
I have started to investigate Koch ingredients that end up as generic/store labels, but have come to the conclusion that the project could take weeks if not months of mind boggling research, and I bet I would still miss some of the shelf brands. It is really a challenge to find out who the Koch companies sell to. I see that Georgia Pacific frequents trade shows to sell their wares to smaller manufacturers, but once those companies get the goods, it is hard to find out what they do with them if you do not have an inside the company perspective. And the list of generic store brands is huge, so starting from that angle and going backward is out, considering the enormity of products to research. I am sure you see the dilemma, I would love to supply all with that info, but the project would be extremely challenging ending in many uncertainties. You are safest to pick brands you can trust are not Koch. But they will probably we shipped on Koch roads, using Koch gasoline, in Koch boxes. Sorry I could not be of more help. Thx for writing. Best, Keiren
This is a mind-numbing list. I have lots of research to do to make sure I don’t give a dime to these fckrs.

Imagine the good and the legacy they could have done and left. But instead they are soulless greedy fat creeps.
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!
Don’t forget, the Koch Brothers want environmental protections removed completely so they can create even more profit for themselves and leave the rest of us to choke to death on the fumes and poisoned water they leave in their wake. 2012 must be where we make our stand against the rich and powerful or America will never be the same again.
None of their products for me!
These men are America’s Public enemy #1, they now control the GOP with all the monies they need to promote this greed! If you research this family they are decedents of Nazi’s.

Nothing I saw mentioned the involvment of Koch Industries in the Political Activist Groups that David Koch developed. ‘Citizens For A Sound Economy’, ‘Freedom Works’, and ‘Americans For Prosperity’. He has also commandeered the American TEA Party midstream. These organizations are insidiously designed to hoodwink regular hourly wage type conservatives into becoming lobbyists for Big Business. But, they do not get paid like a lobbyist does. Rather, they pay! These groups ask for cash donations and volunteers. No mention of David Koch’s involvement is mentioned on any of their websites. They promote deregulating corporations. They promote eliminating Corporate taxation. They say it is to stimulate the creation of jobs. They really mean it will provide more profits. And more pollution and death for us.
Koch Industries engages in all of the industries that are the largest polluters of the environment. Oil, mining, logging, textiles, chemicals, paper production, and fertilizers. And they keep expanding, acquiring even more commodity industries. This puts their products into every aspect of human society. with reach like this, it give them incredible influence over the masses. In light of this, of course they would want to influence government. They want to eliminate regulatory agencies like the EPA, OSHA, USDA, and the FDA. They also want to bust all unions, and reduce or eliminate workers rights, by ending Workman’s Comp, Unemployment, overtime pay, and denying recourse to those injured or killed on the job. All these things are bad for American families, yet, they ‘Fly The Flag’, and yell out loud ‘We are Patriots!’. No, they are pure evil.
It’s a lethal monster – it’s toxic tentacles reaching out and infecting everyone of us in one way or another! We must remember how their billions of dollars also influence everything from art, science museums (Just gave millions to the Museum of Natural History in NY – to have a room named after him…) YUK! to other arenas that need money….money is power and the Kochs buy
their way into anything and everything that will
cement their power throughout the world…
Those old 55 year old plus bastards of this country are sending the country to hell because their old asses are on their own way to hell.
The youth need to take the power from the old folks. I understand that Politics is not a young person’s ‘thing’ but the Youth of America had better wake up; run for offices; and take control of THEIR future because the politicians, as it stands, are not looking out for anyone but themselves and their next election. Sure boycott Koch! But run for office.
