--PLEASE CIRCULATE-- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] thought I would pass this along Amazon.com supports Bob Enyart and his homophobic message Jen and I have received information that Amazon.com is advertising on a site that promotes homophobia, sexism and racism. Both Jen and I have checked it out and it's true. Bob Enyart does, in no uncertain terms, feel that homosexuals should be barred from almost every aspect of life from relationships to having families to employment. Unfortunately, "Amazon.com is pleased to have Bob Enyart Live in the family of Amazon.com associates." I will no longer do business with Amazon.com and I encourage you to evaluate the information and draw your own conclusions. I have included a copy of the note Amazon.com includes on the Enyart Website at the bottom of the page. Kyla -- Before today, I was a regular customer of Amazon.com, reported to be the largest retailer on the Internet, but I just sent them e-mail telling them that they will get no more of my business until they stop advertising on homophobic web sites-in particular (http://enyart.com). Here's what happened, Tracy Ore, a colleague of mine at St. Cloud State, put out a message on campus e-mail describing the rabidly homophobic contents of a so-called Christian radio program (her message is attached). The program has a companion web site http://enyart.com. The site is full of homophobic, sexist, and implicitly racist statements and distortions. Wanting to know where this guy was getting his ideas from I went to a page marked "Bob's Reading List" (http://www.enyart.com/books/index.html). You can check out what the religious right is reading on your own. The point of this message is to let you know that I found on that bottom of that page an advertisement for Amazon.Com, including a direct link to the Amazon.com search engine. I wonder who buys more books, the so-called Christian right or the rest of us? The consumer boycott is a fine part of the American tradition-right up there with freedom of speech--and I intend to practice both. I'm not giving Amazon.com any more of my money and I have e-mailed them to tell them so (a copy follows). I hope you will do the same. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ E-MAIL to AMAZON.COM TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECT: I am boycotting your business until you cancel your affiliation with Bob Enyart ATTENTION: Jeffrey P. Bezos C.E.O I was a customer of yours but today I found out that www.enyart.com is an affiliated web site. The content of that site promotes homophobia, racism and sexism. Among other things Enyart advocates turning into capital offenses both abortion services and providing contraceptives, the immediate execution of all convicted murders (including abortion providers), and firing all government employees who aren't heterosexual. I intend to boycott your service until you remove your presence from the Enyart site. As a college professor, I am part of the reading public and I buy a lot of books. But not from you. Further, I plan contact every discussion group, list and person I know.
