Time to boycott Amazon.com until they stop this practise.

Shame on Amazon for this horrific selling of child abuse!! Amazon has gone way over the limit here. I suggest we alert Presiden-Elect Obama about this in a petition asking for 2,000 signatures. Thank you Sherry, noted with anger and a heartful of sadness for the children.

This is indeed very disturbing. Is there a petition on this? Otherwise let me now please, so I can start one.
Thanks Sherry

Amazon acts like a shameless whore with no respect for life, they have proven in the past that they don't care about anything but making bucks, dump them if you have an account.

Petition signed.

I participated some time back in a campaign for Amazon to stop selling material promoting animal fighting. Their response: We give the public what they want.

All I can gather from that is they don't care if the subject matter is illegal, immoral, or just plain wrong - it's all about money.

I hope they get a conscious on this issue.

Although I don't support anything that hurts anyone or any living thing, I feel so very uncomfortable about banning books. I saw the covers of the books on the youtube video, but, with the exception of one, I couldn't really get a sense of what the books were about. I've signed many petitions on this site over the years, but I will have to pass on this one because of my opinion regarding book banning.

Wednesday January 7, 2009, 3:21 pm
Thats too bad Vill. Perhaps you would change your mind after reading some discriptions? Beware it is graphic.

Noted, thank you, Sherry. I for one, will not give one $$$ for this so they can profit from this subject matter. Like someone said, above, it's all about the money. I'm going somewhere else!

Wednesday January 7, 2009, 6:14 pm
sorry, I forgot...Thank you! You signed at 4:36 PM PST, Jan 4, 2009 Thanks!

They are not the only ones to sell this child erotica. Look much deeper and you will find so many others selling it as art.Thanks,Sherry.

Wednesday January 7, 2009, 11:25 pm
Great job Sherry! Noted,signed, emails sent and will forward. Also blogging this. Amazon.com will not see a dime from me and I refuse to visit their website. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thank you for posting this Sherry.

I rarely do business with big corporations precisely because they tend to lack ethics, so I won't be shopping at Amazon anyway. Boycotting is a good way to express our lack of support - it attacks their profit margin.

Like Villagetree, I don't like banning books off-hand. From the video I can't tell how many of these books are truly "pro-pedophile" or not. Would you put "Lolita" by Nabokov on this list ? Anything that discusses children's sexuality ? And what ages are we talking about ?

Yes, let's protect children, and keep the pressure on law enforcement to break up these rings who exploit children for pornography.

But let's look at our mainstream media, too, which is just as irresponsible and its effects far more insideous. Society produces pedophiles - let's find out how and produce fewer and fewer of them.

Noted and signed petition with deep shame and disgust! Will also send mails.
We can'fight against dirty thoughts and minds, but we should fight against visible immorality, like child-porn movies and books, bestiality...
This has nothing to do with freedom of speach at all, somewhere we all have to draw the lign!
Thanks Sherry

First reply~Thank you for writing to Amazon.com with your concerns. I understand that you feel very strongly about this issue.

Let me assure you that Amazon.com does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts; we do support the right of every individual to choose his or her own reading material or entertainment.

As a retailer, our goal is to provide customers with the broadest selection possible so they can find, discover, and buy any item they might be seeking. That selection includes some items which many people may find objectionable. Therefore, the items offered on our website represent a wide spectrum of opinions on a variety of topics.

Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to sell certain titles because we believe their message is objectionable. Therefore, we'll continue to make controversial works available in the United States and everywhere else, except where they're prohibited by law. We also allow readers, authors, and publishers to express their views freely about these titles and other products we offer on our website. However, Amazon.com doesn't endorse opinions expressed by individual authors, musical artists, or filmmakers.

We value all feedback from our customers, and I thank you again for taking the time to send us your comments about this issue. Although we won't be able to comment further on this topic, we hope you'll allow us to continue to serve you.

I have signed several petitions against Amazon. I wonder when someone is going to do something about them. I haven't bought a thing from them in years when I started realizing what they were doing. Thanks for keeping their name in the public eye and calling them on their sh--.

I am not ever buying anything from Amazon again.

I signed petition. Salvery and abuse happens even here in the US. We have to stand up to it in every way.

It is sad that Amazon is one of the few on-line stores that made a profit this Christmas season..record profits for that matter..The word needs to get out. I never have nor never will buy from Amazon.

SIGNED AND NOTED IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, CAN ANYONE START A PETITION TO BOYCOTT THEM ??????? THANKS SHERRY.....

Wednesday January 14, 2009, 11:06 pm
Thanks Sherry for those email addresses and you too Kelli for being so proactive and using them...I am going to follow your lead. I was just thinking that the sales records of those books would be valuable to the FBI if they were smart enough to subpeona the records then they could get an idea of people who are actual pedophiles in this country. Just a thought...

Tuesday January 20, 2009, 11:58 pm
That is messed up. who in thier right minds would write or by a book like that. This angers me in many ways. I will do what I can to help in this fight.
