Things we can boycott of the Koch Brothers empire

Given that these two billionaires--Bill and Richard Koch--are doing their best to destroy labor unions and collective bargaining every way they can, starting with Wisconsin's labor laws and now fanning out across the country--it seems only fair to arm ourselves with whatever information we can, in an effort to fight back.
Given that and knowing that the Koch corporate empire is huge, it could be good to know what products they distribute so we can hopefully avoid them--boycott the items--so we don't "feed the beast", so to speak.
