Thank You For not Supoorting the merican Legislative Exchange Council

Posted Tue December 20, 2011 12:30 pm, by Brad F. written to NewEgg.com

Write a Letter to this Company

Dear Newegg / Fred Chang CEO

Normally I do most of my Xmas shopping via Amazon.com. This year I read that Amazon.com and its CEO where major contributors to the ultra right wing lobbyist group American Legislative Exchange Council which has been backing anti-gay, anti-consumer, and anti-minority bills at the federal and state level.

My research shows that Newegg is not a supporter of ALEC. So I am doing all my Xmas shopping for tech with you, and I am also recommending you to my friends.

I find it just a little ironic that based on your profile and
comments, you are not only, not a Christian, but you go out of your
way to disrespect Christians. You state that you did your Christmas
shopping with newegg.

You are anti-Christian but clearly making preparations for one of the
two biggest Christian holidays on the calendar, I dont get it?

Wow I didn't know about this. As a result, I have just cancelled some
items I planned to order from Amazon.

Thanks for the heads up.

Newegg keeps impressing me. I ordered an item that had a rebate, but
the manufacturer was playing games to make the rebate impossible to
claim (shipping items in boxes with no UPC code), so Newegg just
credited me $20 back on my order which is way better then waiting 6-8
weeks for "rebate" on a gift card.

SIGH!

I guess the clowns at ALEC haven't looked too closely at Amazon, by Steve OH (IO) Tue December 20, 2011 @ 8:11 PM

I think this is more about the issue of sales tax + internet purchases by RedheadwGlasses Wed December 21, 2011 @ 12:56 PM

So What if a Gas Station refused to sell you by McJohn Thu December 22, 2011 @ 2:02 PM

Ever seen a sign that says

by Brad F Posted Thu December 22, 2011 @ 3:12 PM

"we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"?

Amazon is voting with its wallet by sponsoring ALEC, and I am voting
with my wallet by not shopping at Amazon.

I'm sorry if I'm not a well programmed and obedient mindless consumer.
