Join Koch Industries & ALEC boycotts. Use this free app to scan barcodes and find conflicts.

I'm not much of an app user but I saw this app in my Facebook feed a few times today and am going to be using it whenever I go shopping from now on. You can join whatever campaigns you want, and then when you scan a barcode it will determine if that product is directly or indirectly owned by a corporation that you've committed to boycotting. I've already found a bunch of crap in my pantry that I won't be buying any longer because their parent companies spent millions opposing GMO labeling.

4. I do not think so

But they do have a website at buycott.com which appears to be somewhat useful as far as research goes.

2. Many of those products are going to be union-made.

Just FYI.

3. Maybe so

Maybe the AFL-CIO should use something like this for their American Crystal Sugar boycott, which appears to be languishing.
