Add your name: Tell Amazon to dump Trump (Petition)

MoveOn.org
May 7, 2016

Now that Donald Trump is the presumptive presidential nominee, businesses like Coca Cola and Microsoft are backing away from him and his brand.

So why is the on-line behemoth Amazon continuing to sell Trump's line of menswear -- even though companies like Macy's bailed on Trump's brand of hate last year?

Reject Trump's sexism, racism, and xenophobia...Tell Amazon to stop selling Trump's products.

(Petition background)
"Despite Donald Trump's sexist. racist comments, Amazon is promoting and profiting from him and his brand.
Trump is inciting violence at his rallies and spewing vitriol that white supremacists like David Duke love.
So why is Amazon continuing to support the Trump empire?
Many of us use Amazon, and the company has responded to our pressure before over the selling of sexist products.
It needs to follow suit when it comes to Trump's products.
Will you add your name now?

Myself included.

Their prices on books, CDs & movies on DVD are usually the lowest of any other on-line seller.

and price comparisons, but prefer other (real) retailers for actually buying the product. Amazon is a nice resource of information and I have shopped there in the past. That said based upon their business practices and treatment of employees, I will most happily spend my money elsewhere and for the most part I do find things less expensive when I shop around.
