[Liberal_in_LA]

While most of Koch Industries revolves around energy and gas—including pipelines in Texas and Oklahoma, and refineries in Mississippi—it also owns the Georgia-Pacific paper company, which makes a bevy of popular products, like the following:

Angel Soft toilet paper
Brawny paper towels
Dixie plates, bowls, napkins and cups
Mardi Gras napkins and towels
Quilted Northern toilet paper
Soft ‘n Gentle toilet paper
Sparkle napkins
Vanity Fair napkins
Zee napkins

--------

The nation’s other largest paper company, Kimberly-Clark, which produces Kleenex, Kotex, Cottonelle, Depends and Scott paper towel, to name a few, is run by a man named Thomas Falk.

Falk has previously donated to John Cornyn, the Republican Senator who once likened same-sex marriage to tying the knot with a box turtle, regularly assails a woman’s right to choose and in 2005 voted against increased funding for armored vehicles for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

1. I'm so glad I don't use any of those products..

.. and never will for sure now. I can also easily avoid Kleenex, Cottonelle,
and Scott towels. Cornyn sucks.

11. I use Kleenex and two Koch products. Never again. And I will check labels

to avoid buying Koch brothers products. I will get the parent company of Kleenex and not buy any of their products. Thanks for the education.

I just bought some Angel Soft yesterday. I suppose I could save all the wads and mail them back to them.
