Buying Blue

[raysr]

Here's my letter to "Amazon.com"
"I just found out today, after my last order, that Amazon.com contributes 61% to the filthy, stinking conservative party. I will NEVER, I repeat NEVER buy from you again."
I hate to have to not buy from them, I liked it.

2. Good for you.

At least we have barnes & noble as an alternative blue.

Amazon says employees and customers come first and then they shoot themselves in the foot by supporting the people who scorn that policy.

:thumbsup:

3. Thing is

I get great deals on "used" stuff that mostly is new. Plus they sell all kinds of stuff. But, I can't be a part of enabling the f-ing pugs!!!

7. I sent them an email too

I sent a lengthy email, so I'll not paste it...

Amazon.com has always been a reputable organization, so I appealed to them to change their ways.

I ended with: "Those of us being left out of the political dialog in Washington have nothing left to do but put our money where our beliefs are, and that means that next year will be a 'blue' Christmas indeed."
